"This Roasted red pepper hummus recipe was incredibly easy to make at home with just a few ingredients, including chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans), roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and my two secret ingredients, Ice Cubes and Baking Soda! It was smoky, creamy, slightly sweet, and most important of all, way tastier than store-bought!"

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, slice the red pepper into flat slabs, place them on the tray, and then drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle sea salt.
Step 2
Roast the peppers for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking until the tops are blistering and darkening, and the skin is removed easily with a fork. Let them cool and peel off the skin.
Step 3
Pour the chickpeas from the can into a small pot, add ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and bring it to a boil for five minutes. Then drain the chickpeas and leave them to cool down.
Step 4
Add the chickpeas to the food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic, Tahini paste, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for 1 minute.
Step 6
While the processor is running, add the ice cubes. Keep it running until the ice completely disappears.
Step 7
Add the roasted red peppers and grind until a creamy texture.
Step 8
Serve it in a bowl, garnish with diced roasted red peppers, and drizzle extra virgin olive oil.
