Ingredients

1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained (see notes)
3/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 lemon, juiced (plus more to taste if needed)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Prep ingredients: chop roasted red peppers into diced pieces, and remove shell from garlic cloves.
Add ingredients to food processor: add all of ingredients to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Puree until smooth: puree ingredients for about 30-60 seconds until consistency is creamy and smooth. Adjust taste with additional lemon juice, salt, or a pinch more of garlic powder. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

What to eat hummus with: dip your favorite crackers into hummus, or tortilla chips, pretzels, and pita bread. For veggies, make "sticks" out of carrots, cucumber, celery, and dip it with other vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower. Spread it on sandwiches or wraps, or add it to a salad!

Thoroughly rinse chickpeas: it's important to thoroughly rinse garbanzo beans for about 15 seconds in a colander under cold water (drain liquid). This helps with digestion and also reduce the sodium.
