Instructions
Cook The Chickpeas
The night before, soak the chickpeas (3/4 cups dried will expand to 2 cups) in water and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Drain and rinse soaked chickpeas.
Add to the Instant Pot and add just enough water to cover the chickpeas (about 2 cups or so).
Cook for 45 minutes at high pressure in the Instant Pot.
Roast The Peppers
Cut peppers in half, remove seeds and tops. Cook at 450 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
While they are hot, put them into a bowl with a lid so they can steam.
Once cool, remove skins.
Make the Hummus
Add all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a bowl and top with a little drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs (if desired), and a few more roasted peppers for color.
Notes
You can store excess roasted peppers in olive oil for several weeks in the fridge.
Easily make ahead 2-3 days in advance. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
