Roasted Garlic Red Pepper Hummus
• Roasting garlic creates a sweeter, milder flavor compared to raw garlic. • For extra smokiness, add additional smoked paprika. • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Health Benefits: Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and fiber that support satiety, gut health, and blood sugar stability. Roasted red peppers provide antioxidants such as vitamin C and carotenoids that support immune and cardiovascular health, while tahini and olive oil contribute healthy fats that help support nutrient absorption and metabolic health.

Remove pepper from the oven and let cool slightly, then peel off the skin and remove seeds. 5. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from the bulb into a food processor. 6. Add roasted red pepper, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. 7. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. 8. Add water gradually until desired consistency is reached. 9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. 10. Serve immediately or chill before serving for deeper flavor.
