Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe
Description
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe mixes drained chickpeas with drained roasted red bell peppers, tahini paste, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, finely minced garlic cloves, salt, and red pepper flakes. These ingredients are processed in a food processor until smooth and creamy, with occasional scraping to ensure even blending.
The result is a hummus with a vibrant, smoky-sweet flavor from the roasted red peppers balanced by the earthiness of chickpeas and the richness of tahini. The garlic and lemon add brightness, while the red pepper flakes provide a subtle heat. The texture is creamy yet slightly firm, making it ideal for dipping.
Serve the hummus immediately drizzled with olive oil and fresh parsley for garnish. It pairs well with pita bread or fresh vegetables as a nutritious snack or appetizer. Leftovers keep well refrigerated and can be refreshed by pulsing briefly in a blender before serving again.

- 2 oz. chickpeas drained, or 3 cups, canned
- ⅔ cup red bell pepper drained and patted dry, roasted

- 1 ¼ tsp. salt to taste
- ½ tsp. red pepper flakes

Instructions
