I’ve been wanting to blog this recipe for ages. We eat hummus ALL OF THE TIME in this family, especially Roasted Red Pepper. I’ve recently started giving Millie a portion with breadsticks as soon as she comes out of the pool which she devours on the journey home. I will admit that we still buy hummus too but there is something so satisfying about serving your own. Its so quick and easy too!
This recipe can be easily adapted slightly to suit your taste – Try it with 1/2 tsp of Piri Piri Seasoning, or another clove of Garlic, or a huge splash of worcester sauce.
We serve ours at home with tortilla wraps lightly toasted in a dry frying pan, then chopped into triangles with a pizza cutter. No exaggeration when I say we’ve had it 3 times this week alone!

I love hummus, especially red pepper hummus but have never made it. I’ve pinned this so I can make it soon – thanks x
Hiya hope you are pleased with the results! xx
Your roasted red pepper hummus looks and sounds super tasty Helen! We do love hummus in our house too. My boys prefer the plain one and eat it like it’s going out of fashion, I like caramelised onion and have recently discovered smoked version which is simply delicious. Perfect little dip! 🙂 x
Oh I’m planning on sharing my caramelised onion hummus too (meant to stick it in with this one but forgot!) Smoked sounds incredible 🙂
My Girls would absolutely love this – especially in a tortilla wrap stuffed with loads of veggies!
I must do some more healthy bakes! Looks lovely.
I need to do more baking!! Have linked up my bread recipe from Algerian week on my blog 🙂 x
Love the idea ! Thank you so much !
This hummus sounds delicious and I would definitely love to add a little piri piri seasoning. It’s a lovely round up too and I’m especially tempted by the chocolate chip raspberry muffins. I’ve linked up my peanut butter cookies which is an old post but I’ve updated and republished it.
I am so made up right now that I’m your #BakeoftheWeek, thank you so much really needed that to make me smile today….boy-oh-boy has it been a full on day! I have a mountain of blogger admin to climb now but I can do it with a spring in my step xx
Helen I am sorry I forgot to comment on your hummus! I adore hummus but have never tried making my own. yours looks so delicious x
This is really adorable, i am completely flat with the adorable look of this recipe. I am sure the taste would be toothsome. The process of making become easier for us once you explained everything beautifully.
