Roasted Shishito Pepper Hummus
As if roasted shishito peppers aren’t delicious enough on their own, we’ve combined then with creamy chickpeas, zing of citrus, and kick of red pepper flakes. Packed with plant protein and flavor, this hummus dip makes an excellent vegan appetizer or snack.
What you’ll need:
Tools:
