Useful tips for Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Making homemade hummus is really easy. But there’s a few tricks:
We made this batch in our 20 oz. Vitamix container. If you’re using a larger container, double or triple the recipe.
Don’t drain your chickpeas down the sink! Save the water (also known as aquafaba) to use for some of our other favorite recipes like Chocolate Mousse, Vegan French Toast, and Oatmeal Pancakes.
If you like your hummus thicker, add more chickpeas. This recipe makes a very smooth batch that is not as thick as store-bought brands.
This is the best red pepper humous ever! It’s so easy to make, it’s now part of my life, just like that. I’d never made humous before so really happy! Thank you LINY!
Yay! Thanks for welcoming it into your life!
Love the tip on whipping the tahini and lemon first–I’m definitely gonna try that! I’m a sucker for buying hummus at the store, but I’m really gonna try making a batch at home more often.
