This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus offers a creamy and flavorful twist on traditional hummus, combining tender chickpeas with smoky roasted red peppers, tahini, and a hint of garlic and cumin. Perfect as a healthy dip or spread, it’s quick to prepare and versatile for snacking or entertaining.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Mince the garlic and gather the roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices.
  2. Combine in Food Processor: Place the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper into a food processor bowl.
  3. Blend to Smooth: Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. If the hummus is too thick, add water gradually to achieve your desired consistency.
  4. Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with paprika if desired for color and mild flavor enhancement.
  5. Serve: Serve the roasted red pepper hummus with pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, peel the skins off the chickpeas before blending.
  • Use fresh roasted red peppers for a more intense smoky flavor if preferred.
  • Adjust lemon juice and garlic according to taste for more tang or pungency.
  • Store hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • If thicker hummus is preferred, reduce water addition during blending.
