Ingredients
- Baby bell peppers 4 cups sliced
- Hummus 1 1/3 cups
Method
-
Prepare the bell peppers.
Wash the baby bell peppers thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife, slice the bell peppers into rings or strips about 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced peppers in a large bowl or serving dish.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and avoid bruising the peppers. -
Portion the hummus.
Measure out 1 1/3 cups of hummus. If using store-bought, stir it well before measuring to ensure even consistency. Transfer the hummus to a small serving bowl or individual dipping cups for easy access.
Tip: If you prefer a smoother hummus, you can stir in a little olive oil or lemon juice before serving. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the sliced baby bell peppers around the bowl of hummus on a serving platter. This makes it easy to dip each pepper slice into the hummus. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and crunch.
Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of paprika or chopped fresh herbs like parsley over the hummus.
Pro tips
- Choose bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored for the best texture and flavor.
- If you want to add some extra protein, serve with a side of roasted chickpeas or a handful of nuts.
