Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Description
The recipe combines cooked chickpeas and jarred roasted red peppers with tahini, cumin, chili powder, salt, and optional garlic powder into a food processor or blender. Blending incorporates the ingredients into a creamy hummus with a balanced flavor profile of smoky red peppers and subtle spices.
Adding ice during the final blend cools the mixture and enhances smoothness. Cooling the hummus in the refrigerator before serving allows the flavors to meld further, resulting in a more cohesive taste.
Garnishing with dried parsley flakes adds a fresh visual and taste element. This hummus can be served as a dip or spread, bringing the roasted red pepper's sweetness and warmth to a classic chickpea base.
For the smoothest texture, simmering chickpeas with baking soda before blending can soften skins without peeling. Using good quality tahini prevents bitterness and improves flavor balance.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas cooked
- ¼ cup roasted red peppers + splash of juice from the jar
- 1 Tablespoon tahini
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- pepper pinch
- garlic powder optional, dash
- 1 ice heaping cup
- dried parsley flakes optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend on high.
- Remove the lid, and using a spatula, push down any large chucks on the walls of the food processor. Taste and add salt to taste. Add the ice and blend for 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Place in the refrigerator before serving if you prefer a chilled hummus. Pour into a small bowl to serve and garnish with spices and dried parsley flakes.
Notes
- Simmer chickpeas with ½ teaspoon baking soda until very soft to achieve a smoother hummus without peeling skins.
- Choose high-quality tahini to avoid bitterness; Soom brand is recommended.
- Let the hummus chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
