Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you can't find roasted red peppers in a jar or can, you can roast your own. Simply cut red bell peppers into quarters, remove the seeds and ribs, and toss them with olive oil. Roast in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and slightly charred.
• For a smoother hummus, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
