Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (Tahini-Free)

1. 1

   Drain both cans of chick peas, reserving the liquid from one of the cans.

2. 2

   Add both cans of beans to food processor along with 1-2 cloves of peeled garlic (no need to chop, the food processor will take care of that!), about half a jar of roasted red peppers in water (also add a bit of the liquid if you'd like to boost the pepper flavor), juice from 1/2 lemon, cumin, chili powder, and some salt.

3. 3

   Drizzle in olive oil (I usually use do one turn of the food processor, approximately 1 TBSP).

4. 4

   Blend for about 30 seconds. Add some of the chickpea liquid if needed to get the right consistency.

5. 5

   Continue to blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides and adding more liquid as needed.

6. 6

   Enjoy with your favorite veggies or pita chips. My favorites are carrots, cucumber slices, sugar snap peas, and red bell peppers!
