Hummus 3 Ways: Roasted Red Pepper, Roasted Garlic or Traditional
If you were to look in my fridge once a week you’d always find homemade hummus—it’s one of the best go-to snacks around. I prefer to make my own versus buying for a few reasons. One, I get way hummus more for my money (I buy beans in bulk). Two, I know that the beans have been soaked, which makes them easier to assimilate. And three, I know that there is no added oil or processed salt. YU hummus is quality stuff. This recipe is always delicious and easy to make. Just soak the beans while you sleep the night before.
To change it up flavor-wise, I’ll either make hummus traditional-style, with roasted red peppers or with roasted garlic. I bet it’s also great with roasted jalapenos, but I haven’t tried that—yet. There are many nights when I get home from the gym too late to make dinner and hummus and veggies always come to the rescue. The combo is so packed with nutrition I end up super full and satisfied pretty quickly. Fresh cut broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas (I’m a junkie for these things) and carrots are delicious with all three preparations. Use this hummus recipe as a base and have fun.
