This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients and full of flavor.
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 this roasted red pepper hummus and it was fantastic!
I enjoy making dips like this for a quick snack because they are healthy and easy to prepare. Some other dips that I love making are my black bean dip, easy avocado hummus and white bean and roasted red pepper dip.
Ingredients You'll Need
The printable recipe card to make this simple roasted pepper hummus recipe with exact amounts and directions is below.
Roasted Red Bell Peppers: You can roast your own peppers to m make this recipe, but I like to use store bought when I want to make a simple hummus. Use your favorite brand.
Chickpeas: They are also known as garbanzo beans and they are the main ingredient of traditional hummus. You can cook them from scratch or use canned chickpeas.
Tahini: It's a paste made with sesame seeds and you can buy it at any supermarket. Always buy a good quality or find a recipe to make it at home.
Olive Oil: This ingredients helps the hummus to be smooth and creamy.
Spices: Cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper. The cumin adds a wonderful earthy flavor, a pinch a chili adds a small amount of heat, and salt and pepper to add extra flavor to the hummus.
Garlic: I love the addition of garlic for flavor.
Lemon: Always use fresh lemon juice to make hummus, because adds great flavor to the dip.
Water: It helps all the ingredients to come together for a smooth and creamy dip.

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!

Erica, I love this recipe! Using roasted pepper in hummus sounds wonderful!
Erika from The Pastry Chef At Home
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?

Your hummus looks so good, and you're right, it's really delicious with roasted red pepper! With some raw veggies or pita chips, this is really the perfect snack!
