Dehydrated Roasted Pepper Hummus

Step 1

Place the sesame seeds in a food processor and pulse until they turn into a powder. Add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and ½ cup water. Process until smooth, adding more water as needed to keep it all moving.

Step 2

Spread in an even layer on your dehydrator trays that have been lined with a fruit leather insert or parchment paper. Dehydrate at 125F for 4-6 hours, or until the hummus is completely dry and turns powdery if rubbed between your fingers. Optionally, transfer the dried hummus to a blender and pulse a few times until it becomes a powder.

Step 3

Package in airtight containers or zip-top bags, dividing into individual servings if desired. Pack olive oil in a separate, sealed container, or bring olive oil packets. Package any “dippers” in a separate bag—hearty crackers, vegetable chips, pretzel sticks, or anything else you like.

Step 4

Stir water into the hummus powder until it reaches your desired consistency. Finish with a generous drizzle of olive oil and serve with your snacks!
