    This Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is an easy to make hummus recipe that you can feel good about eating!  A great healthy vegan snack that the whole family will love.

    I saw a t-shirt a while back that said "Hummus is a Food Group" and I couldn't agree more.

    It is one of those great foods that is over the top delicious, but also packed with nutrients. It has always been a go-to snack for me, and this Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is one of my all time favorites!

    I love to serve it with fresh veggies and Van’s Simply Delicious® Crispy Whole Grain Baked Crackers. Van’s Simply Delicious® are gluten free and baked with oats, brown rice, millet, quinoa, and amaranth! With no artificial flavors or hydrogenated oils and 16 grams of nutrient dense whole grains, this is a snack with simple, clean ingredients that I can feel good about eating.

    Now I do have something bad to say about Van’s Simply Delicious®.

    If you let your children taste them, they will magically disappear. They aren't those gluten free crackers that taste like flax seeds or that has the texture of Styrofoam.

    Just after I took this photo, Alex came into the kitchen looking for something to eat. At 11, he is always hungry. (I fear my grocery bills in a couple of years.)

    He declared they were great and the next thing I knew he and Christian were shoveling the crackers from the platter into bowls and getting Skye in on the action.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed (1 can)
    • ¼ cup roasted red peppers drained
    • ¼ cup tahini
    • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • For serving: Van’s Simply Delicious® Gluten Free Crackers carrot sticks, celery sticks and grape tomatoes

    Instructions

    • In a food processor, combine chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper.
    • Serve with Van’s® Gluten Free Crackers carrot sticks, celery sticks and grape tomatoes.

    Notes

    I prefer to cook my own dried chickpeas because I think that it makes the hummus tasted better but I will use canned chickpeas in a pinch. For ultra smooth hummus, peel the skins off the garbanzo beans.

      I really do enjoy hummus, but can get a tad tired of the original flavor (or flavorless) taste. This looks really spicy and interesting and I bet my hubs will love it too! Really unique recipe!

      I love hummus! I had a hummus party in May and it was so much fun! This recipe looks delicious. I hadn't heard of Cartwheel, so I clicked over there to check it out. It sounds super interesting.

      This actually looks pretty good. I love a good hummus and might have to give this one a try. I've never noticed those Vans crackers though so will have to check the next time I'm in Target.

      This Hummus sounds delish! I haven't been able to find dry chickpeas to cook myself. Would be nice to find them. I would much rather cook my own. Thanks for the great recipes.
