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.)
Oh, but no.
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.

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!

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.

I buy this flavor all the time but have never made my own!
