Ingredients
1 15 ounce can of Garbanzo Beans
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Juice from 1 Lemon
1/4 tsp Paprika
2 Garlic Cloves
2 tsp Cumin
1 Red Pepper
Directions
Turn oven to Broil (high).
Carve & clean out red pepper.
Cut red pepper into 6ish sections.
Lay the sections of pepper on the tray, inside part facing down.
Put an oven rack on the highest notch in the oven where the pepper can broil.
Broil for 5-10 minutes. When the skin starts to bubble or when it starts to brown, you can take the tray out.
Place the peppers in an air-tight container or cover a container with plastic wrap for 10 minutes.
Add all other ingredients to a blender and blend until you get the consistency you want.
Remove hummus and place into a container for storage.
Once 10 minutes have passed, peel the outside cover off of each pepper section.
Cut the peppers into tiny pieces and add to your hummus.
Enjoy!
*You may need to add a tad of water, or a tad more of olive oil or lemon juice if the garbanzo beans are not blending well.
