Notes
- The total time and the ingredient quantities are based on 4 servings.
- If you would like to get a creamier texture of the hummus, add 1 tbsp of tahini.
- Adjust the quantity of the roasted pepper to your taste. The same goes for the garlic.
- Serve with a drop of olive oil and some fresh parsley on top.
- I used canned chickpeas and roasted red peppers, but you can always decide to cook the chickpeas and roast the peppers on your own.
