Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

  • 1 (15 ounces) can garbanzo beans, drained, reserve liquid
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (I used vegetable oil in a pinch)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or any other nut butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 or 2 strips of jarred roasted red pepper and small amount of its juice


Layer the ingredients in your Nutribullet, blender, or food processor. Add approximately half of the reserved bean liquid. Process until as smooth as you like it. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
