Ingredients

• 120 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 240 grams Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 Roasted red pepper (jarred or freshly roasted, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic (minced, for hummus)
• 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the herbed butter. In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or fork until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Transfer to a small serving bowl or roll into a log using parchment paper. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2

Next, make the roasted red pepper hummus. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red pepper, tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving dish.

Step 3

Finally, prepare the honey-cinnamon cream cheese. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, honey, and ground cinnamon until light and fluffy. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey, if desired. Transfer to a small serving bowl.

Step 4

Serve all three spreads with warm bread, toast, crackers, or veggie sticks. Store any leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
