Hummus is a great snack or part of a meal. With veggie sticks or healthy crackers, it's a guilt free snack. Since it's made with chick peas, it's a great source of protein, fiber, folate, iron, and other nutrients.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (no oil added)
3 cups cooked chickpeas (or 2 cans, drained)
1 roasted red pepper, peeled
3/4 tsp salt (or to taste, especially with commercially canned chickpeas)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoky paprika
1/2 cup cooking liquid, low/no sodium veggie broth, or water
Place in food processor and process until smooth. Serve as a cracker/veggie dip or sandwich bread.
Roasted Red Peppers
Cut stems off red peppers and clean out seeds. Place on grill and cooked until blackened on each side, rotating as necessary. Peel off blackened skins and eat or use in recipes.
