This is a delicious version where you can have1/4 cup for 50 calories!
Pre-heat oven to 450
1 can chick peas drained. (liquid reserved) 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil 2 TBS lime juice 1/8 tsp cayenne 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper. 1 roasted red pepper + 1 head of garlic 1 minced fresh garlic clove
Spray pepper with olive oil s&p. Roast for 45min, turning over once every 15 min. Cut the head off the garlic, drizzle with oil and s&p. Wrap tightly in tin foil & roast alongside the pepper. When the pepper comes out of the oven put it in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Once the pepper has cooled remove the skin and seeds. Give it a rough chop. Squeeze the garlic along with other ingredients into a food processor & purée Use as much liquid from the chick peas as needed to make a smooth consistency.
Try it with celery sticks, carrots or just crackers.
Definitely trying this one! Pre-made hummus is so expensive!
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight, really good and easy! I loved the texture of it much better than store bought. I think I went a little over board on the garlic but we love garlic!
