Nothing beats a fresh, homemade bowl of hummus. Especially when it takes only 5 minutes total. Hummus seems like one of those things that seems like you need all these ingredients and time, but truth be told you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already. I love to make this recipe when I want something healthy but really easy to make. I also have another hummus recipe using homemade roasted red peppers, check that recipe out here!

This 5 minute homemade hummus recipe starts with a can of chickpeas, or garbanzo beans whichever you prefer to call them. Complimented with jarred roasted red peppers, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and smoked paprika! It’s quite the perfect snack to have on hand for a game day or as a quick snack! If you’re in to meal-prepping, this would also be a great side paired with pita chips, veggies, or on top of a salad.
