  1. Preheat grill and remove core of peppers then cut into large flat pieces.
  2. Cover peppers in a splash of High Five Oil and arrange skin-side up, on a baking sheet. Grill for 5 to 10 minutes until the peppers skin has charred.
  3. Add peppers to a resealable plastic bag, seal then wait 10 to 15 minutes until cool enough to handle. Gently peel away the charred pepper skin and discard.
  4. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute to whip the tahini and make it smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice. Process for a minute or so
  6. Add the drained chickpeas and process until smooth.
  7. Followed by the  roasted peppers and continue to process for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth.
  8. If the hummus is too thick or still has tiny bits of chickpea, with the food processor turned on, slowly add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water until you are happy with the consistency.
  9. Season as needed. Store homemade hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate up to one week.
