Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 cup roasted red peppers
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, roasted red peppers, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and kosher salt.
Blend the ingredients together until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula.
With the processor running, gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve your desired creamy consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or paprika to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil on top for garnish.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or freshly chopped parsley over the hummus for presentation.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches.
