A creamy and flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Hummus made with tender chickpeas, smoky roasted red peppers, tahini, and a hint of garlic and cumin. Perfect as a healthy dip or spread, this hummus offers a vibrant twist on the classic recipe with a smooth texture and bright citrus notes.

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 to remove any canning liquid. Mince the garlic finely to ensure even flavor in the hummus.
  2. Combine in Food Processor: In a food processor, add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. This combination brings together smoky, creamy, and tangy flavors.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Process all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add small amounts of water gradually to achieve your desired consistency, making it easy to dip or spread.
  4. Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil on top and sprinkle with paprika for an extra pop of color and mild spice, if desired.
  5. Serve: Serve the roasted red pepper hummus with pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for a delicious appetizer or snack that everyone will enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use homemade roasted red peppers for a fresher taste, simply roast fresh red peppers under a broiler until charred, then peel and chop.
  • Adjust garlic and cumin amounts according to your taste preference.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for extra heat and smokiness.
  • Use a high-quality tahini for best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
