No Oil Raw Red Pepper Hummus
Ingredients:
– 2 large red bell peppers, roasted and deseeded
– 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup tahini
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Water, as needed
Instructions:
1. Begin by roasting the red bell peppers. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the whole peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until the skins are charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool before peeling off the skin, removing the seeds, and chopping the peppers.
2. In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, chickpeas, minced garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add water a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. For a smokier flavor, you can add more paprika or some chili powder.
5. Once the hummus is smooth and creamy, transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
6. Serve your No Oil Raw Red Pepper Hummus with your favorite veggies, pita bread, or use it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the guilt-free pleasure of this wholesome dip.
