Roasted Pepper Hummus

January 27, 2010 by Erica Dinho 30 Comments

Results:

A couple of weeks ago I woke up craving homemade hummus, so I decided to make some. When I was getting all the ingredients ready, I noticed a jar of roasted peppers next to the tahini. So, I made roasted pepper hummus and it was fantastic!

I enjoy making dips like this for a quick snack because they are healthy and easy to prepare.

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

  1. Place the garbanzo beans and garlic in a food processor and mix for about 20 seconds.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and process to form a smooth paste.

    The roasted red pepper gives this hummus such a lovely color. I miss this dip (can’t have due to reaction to chickpeas) but there’s always your white bean-roasted pepper dip!

    I have two social events this weekend and love getting ideas like this, when I feel ‘food’ overload and brain dead from cooking so much! I love hummus, and this would be perfect for the socials!

    This looks great. I think I have a moderate pita & hummus addiction – not having hummus in the house is not an option! We will definitely have to try making our own at some point.

    I LOVE roasted pepper hummus and yours looks glorious. I cook big batches of garbanzos and make the hummus bit by bit during the week. It took me quite a while to realize that the little bit of water makes a big difference in the finished product. Keep the good recipies coming! I’m definitely going to try your white bean and roasted pepper – never done that one, and I actually have some cooked white beans on hand right now.

    I LOVE Hummus and this looks great.I’ve made it thrice in a week and am planning on another round…..I find the best hummus comes from taking the skins off the chickpeas and gently roasting both the chickpeas and the garlic!

    Roasted red pepper hummus is one of my favorites! I’m going to try some cumin in mine next time I make a batch. That sounded good!

    Wow, this is almost identical to the way I make my hummus (minus the red pepper). I love what the cumin and chili powder (I use a pinch of cayenne) do to really perk everything up. I can’t wait to try it with homemade roasted red peppers too. What do you like to eat it with?

    You know I may do the same! I have had a jar of roasted peppers forever in the cupboard! I like the color of your hummos and I bet it tastes great! It is hard for me to veer away from the traditional recipe (I feel “guilty”) but I am gonna do it, by golly!
