Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

This hummus stands out for its vibrant color and a more complex flavor profile than the original. When roasting the peppers, their natural sugars caramelize, bringing a sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the creaminess of the chickpeas. To highlight this sweet-smoky balance without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%, the perfect ally for enhancing the vegetable notes.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Cleaning the star ingredient: If you use roasted peppers at home, make sure to remove all the seeds and the charred skin. If they are jarred, drain them well so the hummus doesn't end up too runny.

2. Flavor base: In a food processor or blender, add the roasted peppers, the garlic clove (without the germ), and the lime juice. Blend until you get a smooth purée.

3. Body and emulsion: Add the chickpeas, tahini, and smoked paprika.

4. The master touch: Add a generous amount of Bonsalt 0%. The potassium in Bonsalt is key in this recipe: it acts as a bridge between the sweetness of the pepper and the density of the chickpea, intensifying the flavor without the need to use regular salt, keeping the dish 100% heart-healthy.

5. Silky texture: Blend at full power. If you notice the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of the pepper liquid or very cold water until you reach the desired consistency.

6. Presentation: Serve in a shallow bowl, garnish with some black sesame seeds or a few bits of chopped pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
