This roasted red pepper hummus is thick, creamy, so full of flavor, and a cinch to put together! It's a great, vegan, healthy snack that everyone will enjoy!
Throw the ingredients into the blender, except the salt and optional cayenne.
For the Vitamix
Set the Vitamix to the "Frozen Desserts" setting and let it whirl! Once the cycle has finished, season with salt, to taste. I also love adding in cayenne pepper for an extra kick, but that's up to you!
For the blender
Set your blender on it's highest setting and blend until smooth. If you don't have a very powerful blender, you may need to add more liquid. If you're concerned your blender isn't powerful enough, you may also want to peel the chickpeas before blending. Once smooth, season with salt and optional cayenne, to taste.
This tastes even better once it's had a chance to chill in the fridge, so I'd definitely recommend making this a few hours before you actually need it.
I love serving this with a variety of vegetables, pita bread, tortilla chips, and crackers! This is also great in wraps and sandwiches, too!
