Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Hummus

Hummus is so much better homemade! Once you spend the $5 on tahini (sesame paste) which lasts forever, the rest is super cheap. With only 5 ingredients, anyone can make this fresh, tasty, and simple dip. Enjoy with veggies, pita chips, or with a spoon :)  serves about 6

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil (more if needed)
1.5 tbsp tahini paste
1 red pepper

Preheat oven to 500F
Place red pepper on a baking sheet and place in the oven
After ten minutes, rotate pepper
Cook for another ten minutes
Remove from oven and wrap with foil for ten minutes or until cool

Meanwhile combine garlic, chickpeas, tahini, and oil in a blender
When pepper is cool, peel skin and remove top with seeds
Slice into about 5 slices
*Warning: the pepper will be juicy so cut it over a sink or a plate
Add to blender
Puree for about one minute or until desired consistency
Add salt if needed
