    I am a huge dip lover, and more specifically a huge hummus lover. This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is one of my favorites.

    After I figured out the basic formula for hummus that I liked, I just kept making hummus in different ways. Why pay $3-$4 for an 8 oz. container, when making your own costs so much less?! It is really easy...

    You know how to work a food processor, right? Check. You know how to measure, right? Check. That's all you need to know how to do.

    If you've never roasted a red pepper before, it is super easy. I even have a method where you don't have to watch it. Who has the time to do that, right?

    If you are really in a time pinch, you could use the jarred roasted red peppers.

    Other roasted red pepper dip recipes are my Red Pepper and Olive Tapenade and my Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Dip.

      Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I use a Cuisinart Pro Classic. It is one of the most used appliances in my kitchen, beside my Nutribullet! Don't be afraid of the peppers - it so easy, especially the oven way. It is pretty much fool proof.

      You're right, fresh is always better and the jarred versions are not as good! This is a very good hummus recipe, I'm pinning it! 😀 By the way, do you use canned garbanzo beans or home-cooked ones?

        Okay, so you got me there, that's where I am lazy. I use canned ones. I have made my own beans before, but don't have the patience to keep checking on them. One of these days I will buy a slow cooker....

      You're so right. Why buy store bought when it's much cheaper (and more delicious!) to make your own hummus. Definitely adding this recipe to my list of things to try 🙂
