There really isn’t a more classic snack than hummus. It’s a low-fat and high-protein flavor bomb! The best thing about hummus is how versatile it is. It can be served as a dip, sandwich spread, cheese replacement in many dishes, and even made sweet for desserts!
This recipe for Grilled Red Pepper Hummus is a staple in my house. Homemade hummus is so easy to make and way cheaper than buying the prepared ones at the store. I especially love making my own hummus because I can control the seasonings and spices, and make it just to my liking every time.
This recipe calls for grilling bell pepper but you could also roast it in an oven or even just throw it in the mix raw! This is a great basic hummus recipe. Feel free to substitute other ingredients for the red pepper. Some that I love are: roasted garlic, pesto, artichoke hearts, kale, or jalapeno.
I would recommend making this in a food processor. A high-speed blender will work but I find that the hummus never gets as creamy as I would like.
