Servings: 2 -3 servings
Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup of cooked chickpeas
- ¼ cup of roasted red peppers + splash of juice from the jar
- 1 Tablespoon of tahini
- ¼ teaspoon of cumin
- ¼ teaspoon of chili powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Dash of garlic powder (optional)
- 1 heaping cup of ice
- Dried parsley flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend on high.
- Remove the lid, and using a spatula, push down any large chucks on the walls of the food processor. Taste and add salt to taste. Add the ice and blend for 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Place in the refrigerator before serving if you prefer a chilled hummus. Pour into a small bowl to serve and garnish with spices and dried parsley flakes.
Notes
- For smoothest hummus: If you have time, simmer the chickpeas with ½ tsp baking soda until mushy for smooth hummus with no need to peel the skins.
- Use high-quality tahini: Some brands can be overly bitter. I like Soom.
- For the best flavor: Leave it to chill for 30 minutes (an hour or two is even better) before serving to give the ingredients time to meld.
