The Spicy Olive’s Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

An easy but delicious snack, quick to prepare and healthy when served with vegetable crudite, like celery sticks, carrots, cucumbers and red peppers

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Hummus is a dip made with chick peas & olive oil. You can make many different flavors of hummus by using different flavored olive oils. If you like spicy, you could flavor the hummus with Harissa olive oil, Milanese Gremolata would make a delicious lemon, garlic hummus. The Tuscan Herb olive oil would make a truly Tuscan treat.

The Spicy Olive’s Spinach Artichoke Flatbread

This delicious flatbread pizza is a wonderful appetizer for football games, tailgates, and even for the upcoming holiday season! This recipe is easy to change, giving an easy flatbread template to use for all your entertaining.

Here are some additional ideas to try:

Pesto flatbread- Top the flatbread with our delicious Delizia Pesto (available at The Spicy Olive), spreading a thin layer of pesto across the flatbread. Add mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken and other veggies for a delicious treat.

Italian Flatbread- Spread a thin coating of The Spicy Olive’s  Tuscan Herb olive oil over the flatbread. Top with sauteed mushrooms and onion , crumbled Italian sausage and pizza cheese blend for a flavorful appetizer.

I like to use a purchased Naan bread to use for the flatbread saving the step of making dough. You could also use store bought pizza crusts or dough and pita bread.
