Ingredients
- 1 15- ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed (save some liquid for blending)
- 2 Tablespoons Tahini
- 7 ounces jarred roasted red peppers drained
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for serving
- 3 Tablespoons aquafaba (reserved liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for taste
Instructions
- Before you drain and rinse the chickpeas, save some of the liquid from the can. This is called aquafaba and will help give a creamy texture to the hummus.
- To a food processor or blender, add the drained chickpeas, drained roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil, aquafaba, and salt.
- Blend until smooth making sure to scrape the sides throughout the blending process. Add more aquafaba if the hummus is too thick.
- Blend for about 30 seconds to get a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer your hummus thicker, leave this step out.
- Serve with veggies, crackers, or pita bread.
