How to Make Roasted Pepper Hummus

  1. If using dried chickpeas, soak them in water overnight.
  2. Cook chickpeas until tender (about 45-60 minutes if dried or use canned). If using canned, drain and rinse.
  3. Remove chickpea skins (optional, but recommended for a smoother hummus).
  4. Roast 1 red bell pepper (or use 1 cup jarred roasted peppers).
  5. Combine cooked chickpeas, roasted peppers, tahini (2 tablespoons), lemon juice (2 tablespoons), garlic (2 cloves, minced), and salt (1 teaspoon) in a food processor.
  6. Process until smooth, adding water (1/4 cup) or olive oil (2 tablespoons) as needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or garlic to preference.
  8. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and paprika (optional).
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later.
