Red Pepper Hummus
An Easter gathering isn’t complete without a snack table! Why not try something a little different this year and make a vegan red roasted pepper hummus? It’s easy to make and sure to be a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike.
Ingredients:
- 15-ounce can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 4 red peppers
- fresh parsley leaves
- garlic clove
- ground cumin
- smoked paprika
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- tahini sauce
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the whole red peppers on it. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing the skins.
Combine the roasted peppers, chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, tahini sauce, and olive oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pita bread or crackers, and enjoy!
Vegan Easter Ham
While traditional Easter fare typically includes ham, there are now vegan options that are just as delicious. One popular recipe has seitan, a protein-rich food made from wheat gluten. Seitan is kneaded and boiled to create a ham-like texture, and then it can be roasted in the oven or grilled.
