For a smokier flavor, roast your own red peppers! Simply char the peppers under a broiler or over an open flame until blackened, then steam in a covered bowl until cool enough to handle. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and chop. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and garlic to your preference. Start with the recommended amounts and add more to taste. If your hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of cold water or olive oil at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.

Jun 22, 2023My food processor isn't very powerful, so I had to scrape down the sides a few extra times, but it still turned out great.
