Roasted Red Pepper and Smoked Paprika Hummus (Vegan)
Report
Easy, healthy and delicious, this Red Pepper and Smoked Paprika Hummus is perfect as a dip, in a wrap, as part of a mezze spread… or just eaten straight out of the dish by the spoonful… (which is quite likely, because it is THAT GOOD!).

Ingredients
- 2 red peppers cut in half lengthways and deseeded (see note 1)
- 2 x 400g cans chickpeas drained (reserve the chickpea water)
- 4 tablespoons Tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 cloves of garlic (crush these first if your blender is a bit on the weedy side)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (yes really – it makes a big difference to the flavour)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil ideally good quality extra virgin plus extra for drizzling
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Place the red pepper halves on a non-stick baking sheet or roasting tray (see note 2) and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until just slightly blackened.
- Place the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil, smoked paprika and red pepper halves in a high-speed blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
- This recipe makes quite a thick hummus. If you feel the hummus is a little too thick for your liking, add a splash of the chickpea water and blend again.
- Serve as a dip with crudités and pittas, in wraps or as part of a mezze spread.
Notes
- You can use 2 ready-roasted red peppers from a jar, if you prefer. Using pre-roasted red peppers means this recipe only takes 5 minutes (but I think it tastes nicer if you roast your own!)
- If you don’t have a non-stick baking tray, lightly grease a regular baking tray with olive oil first, before roasting your peppers on it.
- Suitable for freezing.
