This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe is not totally new to the blog. I originally posted it way back in 2010 when I was just getting started. I made a couple of slight adjustments to the recipe and took new pictures. This and my Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus are still two of my favorite recipes on the blog. I just love the versatility of hummus, don’t you?  You can make so many different variations of this healthy dip.

I’ve purchased store-bought hummus in the past, and there a couple of decent ones out there, but when you make it yourself you can control what goes in it. You can tailor the seasonings to your particular tastes. If you only like a hint of garlic, then you can only put a little of it in. Or, if you’re a garlic lover like me, then you can add more. That is the great thing about making your own food. Plus, you don’t have to worry about the preservatives that the store bought varieties have in them.

I’ve been making my own hummus without tahini for years now, and I like it that way. I did buy a jar years back, but I only used it one time, so it went to waste.  It can be a little pricey, depending on where you buy it, and I just don’t find that it’s absolutely necessary.

This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus gets a little heat from chipotle chili powder, which I love. My original recipe called for a chipotle pepper from a can, but I stopped buying those. I haven’t been able to find any brand with ingredients I liked. So, instead I just used some of the powder, and it works just great. Also, it’s easier than having to mess with the remaining canned chipotles.

My husband and I both love this healthy hummus recipe. You can serve it with pita chips, but we like it with just some raw carrots and celery. It’s a tasty and healthy snack that you can make ahead of time.

*I used two small cloves of garlic, but if you prefer a milder garlicky flavor, then just use one. If the garlic cloves are large, just use one instead of two.

    i know this is random, but your post made me wonder what the plural form of hummus is? Hummuses? hummusii? anyway, i agree that home-made hummus beats the pants off store-bought everyday, and it’s so easy to make, too!
