Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

What a morning. Had trouble getting out of bed to work out this morning, but did it anyway. Worked out for 30 min. on the treadmill. Some days I just don't feel like it. Thank God my feelings don't rule my life. At least this time they didn't.

This is a really easy hummus recipe:


Roasted Red Pepper Garlic Hummus

15 oz. can Garbanzo Beans
2 cups Roasted Red Peppers
1 head of garlic roasted
1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice or Rice Vinegar
1 Tablespoon cumin

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

1. Cut about 1/2 " off top of garlic.Wrap in parchment paper than in foil.
2. Bake about 45 minutes or until clove is tender.
3. Squeeze about 6 cloves into food processor with all remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Season hummus with pepper and Sriracha Chili Sauce to taste.
5. Hummus will keep for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.

Roasting Red Peppers

1. Turn broiler to high.
2. Spray glass pan-Put whole red peppers in pan.
3. Broil peppers until blackened, continue to turn peppers until all sides are blackened.
4. Remove from oven, cover with clean towel. Let steam until cooled.
5. Remove peels and seeds from peppers. Do not rinse the peppers as they will lose their flavor. Wash hands as needed.
6. Freeze any leftovers. Put in freezer bags, 2 cups per bag. Squeeze out all air from bag. Make sure to date and label the bag.

Enjoy!!
