Homemade hummus is so easy to make that you won’t ever buy it from the store again. The base recipe is very versatile and this one has a flavorful punch with the roasted red pepper.

Ingredients

1 15oz can of chickpeas, rinsed and outer skins removed
1 roasted red bell pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp tahini
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
2 ice cubes

Instructions

Rinse your chickpeas well and remove the outer skin. I like to add them to a bowl of water and use my hands to peel them off.
If you are going to roast the red pepper on your own, clean it and make sure it is dry. If you have a gas stove, turn one burner on to medium. Set the pepper on the flame for about 1 minute. Use a metal tong to rotate until the entire pepper is charred. Put it into a paper bag for 10 minutes, and then peel off the skin. Remove the seeds and chop.
Add the chickpeas and roasted red bell pepper to a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times.
Add the rest of the ingredients into the blender and blend until the ice cubes are melted and the hummus has a thick and creamy texture.
Enjoy with pita or your favorite veggies. Or basically anything! Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
