Ingredients:
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained (reserve liquid)
- 1 (16-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and extra liquid removed
- ½ cup tahini
- ¼ cup aquafaba (chickpea liquid)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
Garnish:
- Chopped herbs

Instructions:
- Blend the ingredients: Add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, aquafaba, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt into a high-speed blender (like a Vitamix). Secure the lid and remove the lid cap. Insert the tamper and turn the blender on high. Blend for about 30 seconds, using the tamper to push the hummus toward the blades. Add more chickpea liquid if you prefer a smoother consistency.
