Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip (or spread) that is so easy to make at home. {vegan, gluten free}  Thank you to CansGetYouCooking.com through the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for sponsoring this post.

This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe can be made in minutes using common pantry ingredients. Not only does it taste fresh and delicious, but it is also a great recipe to get the kids involved. My kids love to pour in the ingredients and (of course) power the food processor. (Mama, can I pulse it just one more time pleeeeeeease?)

Chickpeas and tahini give this Roasted Red Pepper Hummus that traditional hummus flavor, while the paprika and basil, combined with the lemon juice and garlic, give it a little kick that goes so well with the roasted red peppers.  Served with your favorite vegetables, pitas chips, pretzels or spread on sandwiches or wraps, this healthy Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is versatile, delicious and did I mention easy to make?

Chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) are a great canned food item to have on hand at all times. They are so versatile and can be used in many recipes, including many hummus varieties (find all of my hummus recipes here!)

Roasted chickpeas make a great snack and are also easy to make (try this family favorite recipe for Honey Roasted Chickpeas with Sea Salt). This Chocolate Chickpea Cake is a delicious way to enjoy chickpeas for dessert!

Last month I shared this Mexican Quinoa Skillet recipe as part one of a series of posts for the CansGetYouCooking.com campaign, highlighting how canned foods make homemade easy.  This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is another example of a healthy, easy recipe to make at home thanks to a stocked pantry.
