Cedar's Roasted Red Pepper Hommus
What it is
This is a creamy spread made from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and roasted red peppers. The roasting process brings out a subtle sweetness and smoky depth in the peppers, which complements the earthy flavor of the chickpeas and the nutty notes of tahini. It is a convenient and flavorful dip or spread for various occasions. The texture is smooth and spreadable, making it easy to use straight from the container.
How people cook with it
Hommus is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, both as a dip and as a spread.
- As a dip for vegetables
- Spread on sandwiches
- With pita bread
- As a side dish
To enjoy, simply open the container and serve. It is ready to eat right out of the package. You can scoop it with fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers. It also pairs wonderfully with warm pita bread or crackers. For sandwiches and wraps, spread a generous layer on the bread before adding your other fillings. It can also be used as a base for a quick and easy mezze platter alongside other dips and small bites.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any unused portion refrigerated in an airtight container. It is best to consume the remaining hommus within a few days to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
