🥣 Ingredients:
• 2 red bell peppers, quartered
• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained & rinsed

🔥 Directions:
1️⃣ Roast the Peppers & Garlic
Place quartered red peppers (and garlic cloves) under the broiler until skins are slightly blackened—about 8–10 minutes. Watch closely!
2️⃣ Peel & Set Aside Topping
Once cooled, peel off the burnt skins. Chop about 2 tbsp of the roasted peppers and set aside for topping.
3️⃣ Blend the Base
In a blender or food processor, combine chickpeas, roasted garlic, remaining roasted peppers, cumin, cayenne, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
4️⃣ Adjust Consistency
Add water 1 tbsp at a time until the hummus reaches your desired creaminess. (You may not need much if your chickpeas are already soft.)
5️⃣ Serve & Chill
Scoop into a bowl, top with reserved roasted pepper bits, and garnish with chopped parsley or green onion. Chill in the fridge until firm.
