Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 15 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 8 oz roasted red peppers, drained
  • 3.5 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
  • 2.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 tsp minced garlic
  • 2.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp cold water or aquafaba
  • 0.75 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling optional, for serving
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Shake dry. Drain the roasted peppers well.
  • Blend tahini, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon cold water in a food processor until light and creamy.
  • Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine.
  • Add the roasted red peppers and process until mostly smooth.
  • With the motor running, stream in olive oil. Add chickpeas and blend, drizzling in remaining water until creamy.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Swirl into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and top with parsley.

Notes

For a spicy kick, blend in a pinch of cayenne or top with crushed red pepper. For ultra-smooth hummus, peel the chickpea skins before blending or process an extra minute with a splash more water. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days; loosen with a spoon of water or oil before serving.
