Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
A vibrant, smoky twist on the classic chickpea dip
Why This Recipe Works
Jarred roasted red peppers provide a concentrated sweetness and bright color to this dip without any extra cooking. Patting the peppers thoroughly dry is essential to maintaining a thick, creamy texture.
Instructions
Combine the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a food processor.
Process the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twiceβthe texture should be uniform with no visible bits of pepper.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if the flavors need brightening.
Transfer to a shallow serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
Top with the toasted almonds and parsley, then drizzle the olive oil into the well. Serve with pita or fresh vegetables.
