- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight and cook until tender. For canned, simply rinse and drain.
- Roast your own red peppers by laying them on a baking sheet, brushing with olive oil, and roasting at 450°F until charred.

Notes
Try substituting tahini with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option. For added flavor, incorporate paprika or smoked paprika.
