Hello Stability Nutrition Friends!
Happy Wednesday!
With the 4th of July tomorrow, many of us are looking for quick and easy dishes to make. Whether you're heading to a picnic this weekend, hosting a party, or just want a healthy option that keeps your health goals in mind, this Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Platter is perfect. The hummus is smooth, creamy, and slightly smoky, with a beautiful vibrant color that adds a festive touch to your table. Paired with fresh veggies, it's a crowd pleaser that's both satisfying and good for you!
Hummus is a great party option because it's versatile, delicious, and accommodates a variety of dietary needs. It pairs well with a diverse range of dippers, from fresh veggies to gluten-free crackers to whole grain chips, making it an easy option for guests to enjoy. Plus, its rich flavor and creamy texture are always a hit at gatherings.
Not going to a party? No problem! This hummus is excellent for meal prep as it keeps well in the refrigerator for about 1 week. It also freezes really well, so if you can't get through the whole batch, you can store it in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator when you're ready to enjoy it again.
Why You'll Love This Platter
Perfect for Last Minute Prep: This hummus platter is quick and easy to prepare, making it a great last minute option for your 4th of July celebrations.
Packed with Plant-Based Protein: Chickpeas are a great source of plant protein and are high in fiber. They also provide essential nutrients - iron, magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins - that help support overall health and keep you feeling full and energized.
Customizable and Fresh: This platter includes a variety of fresh veggies - carrots, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and celery. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand! Bell peppers, snow peas, broccoli, cauliflower, jicama, and sugar snap peas would also all work well. Add your favorite gluten-free crackers for extra crunch and variety!

Author: Elisa | Stability Nutrition
Yield: 2.5 cups
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic
1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
¼ cup sesame tahini paste
1 roasted red pepper (store-bought or homemade, drained if from a jar)
1 lemon, juiced
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cumin
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup water, divided
Instructions:
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an “S” blade, add the garlic. Process until finely chopped.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, roasted red pepper, lemon juice, spices, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides and blend again. If the mixture seems too thick, add the water 1 tbsp at a time, and process until you reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, and top with olive oil and smoked paprika if desired. Place the hummus in the center of a large platter and arrange your veggies of choice around the bowl.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
If your meal prepping this hummus, simply store in an airtight container, or individual serving jars, in the refrigerator for up to one week.
