This roasted red pepper hummus is my favorite hummus recipe. Prepared with roasted red pepper, this fantastic dip is super creamy, and loaded with sweet and smoky flavors. A healthy appetizer everyone loves, dipped with crackers, pita or fresh cut veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large red pepper
  • 14 ounces (400g) canned chickpeas, drained*
  • 3 Tablespoons red pepper oil (from the roasted red pepper)
  • 1 Tablespoon tahini
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste
  • 1 large lemon, juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika (+ extra for serving)
  • 1 Tablespoon virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven on the grill position and when it’s warm enough, grill the red pepper on all sides until the skin darkens.
  2. When ready, remove from the oven, place in a bowl and cover with a plate.
  3. Let it cool slightly until ready to handle (not too hot anymore). Then, peel the skin using a small paring knife. Remove the stem and the seeds, but keep the oil from the inside of the red pepper (you will need it later in the recipe).
  4. Place all the recipe ingredients with a food processor, and process until smooth. In order to obtain the perfectly creamy consistency, slowly add 2 or 3 Tablespoons of cold water while the processor is turned on, until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Spoon the red pepper hummus onto a bowl, and spread the hummus with the back of a spoon to create swirls. Drizzle with olive oil, add more paprika, and garnish with fresh cilantro (optional). Serve with pita bread or raw vegetables.

Notes

* Or 8.8 ounces (250g) cooked and drained chickpeas.
