Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas thoroughly with cold water.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, and salt.

Step 3

Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 4

While the food processor is running, gradually add water one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5

Add the ground flaxseed to increase the protein content, and pulse the food processor a few more times to incorporate it evenly.

Taste the hummus, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
