Roasted Pepper Hummus

Keep the party going with this robust, roasted-red pepper spread. This is one of my mom’s specialties and party favorites. Serve the sweet and smoky hummus with vegetable crudités, flax crackers or on the side with grilled chicken. If you don’t have roasted red pepper, make it plain. The taste is still super flavorful.
