Ingredients

  • Chickpeas: 1 can about 15 ounces / 425 grams
  • Roasted red peppers: 2 whole you can jar them or roast your own!
  • Tahini: 1/4 cup 60 ml
  • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Garlic: 2 cloves minced
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30 ml and some extra for drizzling
  • Ground cumin: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 ml
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 ml
  • Paprika: 1/4 teaspoon for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas from the can. Ensure they’re properly washed to remove any excess sodium.
  • Into a blender or food processor, add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt.
  • Blend the mixture until smooth. If you find the mixture too thick, add a tablespoon (15 ml) of water or more olive oil to get the desired consistency.
  • Once blended to your liking, transfer the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus to a bowl.
  • Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top, and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

Notes

  • If you’re roasting your own red peppers, ensure you blacken them thoroughly for a deep smoky flavor in the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
  • Keep your hummus refrigerated in an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to a week!
  • For an added kick, sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes on top before serving.
  • If you’re on a sodium-restricted diet, ensure to rinse the chickpeas well or opt for a low-sodium can.
