Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain garbanzo beans. Add them to the bowl of a food processor, and process until they are crumbly and kind of resemble a graham cracker crust.
  • Add the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and 3/4 of the jar of roasted red peppers to the food processor. Process for 1 minute and then scrape the sides of the bowl. Process for a full 5 minutes. If the mixture seems too dry, add one tablespoon of water and continue to process until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and add salt and lemon juice to your preference if you feel like it needs it.
  • Finely chop the rest of the roasted peppers. Spoon hummus into a bowl, make a small well in the middle and add the chopped peppers. Sprinkle with chili flakes. Serve with pita chips, pita triangles, and your favorite sliced veggies like cucumbers, carrot and celery sticks and

Notes

I have found that the brand of garbanzo beans you use matters!  We have tested generic store brands and did not get good results.  
Our favorite is S&W Organic Garbanzo beans.  The flavor and texture and so much better!
