Ingredients

For the roasted red peppers:

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 cup corn canned or fresh

Instructions

  • Roast the red peppers: Pre-heat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the red pepper slices with the oil and seasonings, and arrange skin side up on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they start to char and blister. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Prepare the black bean hummus: Add the roasted red peppers and all of the hummus ingredients to a food processor bowl and process on high until creamy. You will need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides of the food processor.
  • Assemble the hummus bowls: Divide the hummus into 4 bowls and layer on the toppings. Cover and store in the refrigerator, and enjoy within 2-3 days.

Notes

  1. You can use more or less toppings to suit your hunger level. I usually add spinach or arugula, and more veggies than pictured here, but I wanted the photos to show the hummus.
  2. Other topping options include avocado, green peppers, green onions, zucchini, carrots, micro greens, nuts, seeds, quinoa or lentils.
  3. If you're not going to enjoy these bowls within 2-3 days, just store the hummus separately and add the toppings when ready to eat. The hummus will last for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
