Instructions
Making Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for fantastic results:
1. Prepare the Peppers: If using fresh red bell peppers, roast them on a baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred. Let them cool, then peel and remove seeds. If using jarred roasted peppers, you can skip this step.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, and salt.
3. Blend: Pulse the mixture until everything is combined. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure all ingredients mix well.
4. Adjust Consistency: With the processor running, gradually add water until you achieve the desired creamy consistency.
5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, garlic, or lemon juice if needed.
6. Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with paprika or fresh herbs for garnishing.
7. Enjoy: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. The flavors develop even further as it sits!
These steps will guide you in creating a smooth, delicious Roasted Red Pepper Hummus that everyone will love.
