My husband and I love hummus. He was actually the one who wanted to buy our food processor and was the one who made our homemade hummus for the first time a year or 2 ago. If I don’t watch myself, I can seriously gobble down an entire bowl of this stuff. . especially with toasted pita bread (oh!) and most recently, my new fave with hummus is fresh veggies: carrots, cucumbers and yellow or orange bell peppers (ah!). Love the stuff.

 

Homemade hummus is extremely easy if you have a food processor. . so, go for it! I have 2 recipes below, one for Traditional Hummus and one for Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus (my husband’s fave). For the roasted red bell pepper one, you can roast your own bell peppers, directions

Course: Appetizer or Snack
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • TRADITIONAL HUMMUS:
  • 2 15.5-ounce cans no-salt-added chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup tahini sesame seed paste
  • 3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • paprika pine nuts and shredded fresh basil (optional)
  • ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER HUMMUS:
  • 1 15.5-ounce can no-salt-added chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
  • 6 ounces roasted red bell peppers
  • 1 jalapeno seeded, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

  • 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper optional
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Toasted pita bread for serving

Instructions

  • FOR TRADITIONAL HUMMUS:
  • Soak your garbanzo beans for a few hours if you can. This helps to soften them but if you can't, no worries at all!
  • Place the beans and garlic in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until chopped. Add 1/2 cup water and remaining ingredients; pulse until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  • Dress/garnish how you want. Serve with chips, fresh veggies or toasted pita bread.
  • FOR ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER HUMMUS:
  • Mix all ingredients, except the olive oil, in a food processor until pureed, then slowly add in the olive oil.
  • Serve with toasted pita bread.
