Ingredients

• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 1.5 cups Chickpeas (garbanzo beans), cooked or canned (drained and rinsed)
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water or reserved chickpea liquid

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the stem, seeds, and membranes, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roast the peppers in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 4

Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to make peeling the skins easier.

Step 5

Once cooled, peel off the charred skins from the peppers and set the roasted flesh aside.

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, ground cumin, and salt.

Step 7

Blend the mixture on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or reserved chickpea liquid, if necessary, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cumin if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil. If desired, sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

Step 10

Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers, and enjoy!
