Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic.
Add the ground cumin, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey or maple syrup, if using.
Process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.

Taste and adjust for seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Optionally garnish with smoked paprika, chopped parsley, or a few roasted red pepper strips.
Serve with pita bread, fresh veggies, or crackers, or use it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
