Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

This roasted red pepper hummus is perfect for dipping, slathering on pita bread, or stuffing in a sandwich! It's super creamy, a little smoky, and absolutely delicious!

I got the idea for this red pepper hummus from Wegman's. They sell it in their olive bar. I started buying it and it wasn't long before I became completely addicted!

In an effort to save myself some trips to the store, I decided to create a recipe for homemade roasted red pepper hummus. It was pretty easy and the result was delicious! This stuff is a little bit creamier than regular hummus and packs a slightly sweet, subtly smoky flavor.

What You'll Need

• Chickpeas. The recipe calls for canned chickpeas. You can use dried chickpeas, but you'll need to soak and cook them first. Try one of these methods.
• Tahini. This is a paste made from sesame seeds that can be found in the international foods sections of most supermarkets.
• Roasted red peppers. Use jarred roasted red peppers packed in brine.
• Lemon juice. Use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor.
• Garlic.
• Cumin.
• Salt.

How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

The following is a summary on how to make this dish. Scroll all the way down if you'd like to skip right to the full recipe.

• Place all of your ingredients into a food processor bowl. (Some blenders work too — I love making hummus in my Vitamix!) Make sure you drain and rinse your chickpeas, and drain the peppers. I like to also blot the peppers dry to avoid introducing too much liquid into the mix.
• Blend everything until smooth and creamy.

• Give your hummus a taste-test and adjust any of the seasonings to your taste. This might mean adding more lemon juice, more cumin, or more salt.
• Transfer your hummus to a serving bowl and dig in!

Leftovers & Storage

Leftover hummus will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for about 5 days, or in the freezer for about 3 months.
