Even though I love (and I do mean LOVE) my regular hummus recipe, I’ve been trying to make a new kind of hummus each week for the last few weeks. Just for fun. This one is reeeeally good and super simple. Major bonus that my three-year-old loves it, too!

- Cut each pepper into three pieces and face downward onto parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until skin is seriously browning.
- Remove from oven and place in a bowl, then cover the bowl for 20 minutes or so to help the skins separate from the flesh.
