Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper Hummus

Red pepper hummus is a flavourful twist to traditional hummus, made by blending roasted red peppers with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and other add-ins. It has a smoky, slightly sweet taste that’s delicious on its own, but it's also great on sandwiches or wraps. The caramelized bell pepper and garlic are muted in their intensity, and add a lovely richness to this hummus.
