Yum with some spice needed!
This is a great base recipe! For those who like a mild hummus, it's perfect. I love a little heat and spice in my hummus - so I added some jalapeno slices and juice from that jar (fresh would be even better, but I didn't have it!). After making, I topped with a bit of olive oil and a dollop of fresh chili sauce - made it look beautiful (just like store bought!) and the extra heat was very nice.

Nothing added (but a little mesquite smoke)
Made this recipe exactly as published with the exception of using fresh garbanzo beans instead of canned and I grilled the red peppers and garlic over mesquite coals. AWESOME!!

The best roasted red pepper hummus ever
I was surprised and how epic this was! I left out the oil, cumin and black pepper and added about 8 jalapeno rings and a generous pinch of cayenne pepper. The creamiest, most delicious hummus ever. But I would like to state I do not like having to post my gender and age on your site. There is no reason why you must have this information.

Use Aquafaba in the chic pea can not water
This is excellent! I buy organic chic peas and add the Aquafaba instead of water. I start with a 1/2 cup and go from there to get the consistency that I want. If using organic chic peas you may need to up the salt and pepper.

Best hummus
I have had my A3500 for two weeks and have made multiple recipes per day and roasted red pepper hummus is so so good.

Good consistency... a little bland
For this recipe, I roasted my own pepper and followed the recipe as directed. I'm not a huge cumin fan, so I think I would have preferred the recipe if I had omitted this spice. I also found it needed extra salt. I believe the next time I will try using roasted, jarred red peppers.. perhaps they would add more flavor.
