Ingredients
1 can chickpeas (15 oz), drained and rinsed
2 roasted red peppers (or 1 cup jarred, drained)
1/3 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Peel the skins if desired for extra smooth hummus.
2. In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and cumin until smooth.
3. Add roasted red peppers and continue blending until silky and well combined.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, more lemon, or garlic if needed.
5. For extra flavor, blend in paprika or chili flakes.
6. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with parsley or sesame seeds.
7. Serve with pita, veggies, or crackers, and enjoy!
Notes
For ultra-smooth hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending.
Jarred roasted red peppers are a great time-saver and just as flavorful.
Add a bit of water or olive oil if the hummus thickens in the fridge.
