Ingredients
1 15 oz can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
2 roasted red peppers, drained and patted dry
3 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
2 tablespoons water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. For an ultra-smooth hummus, peel them by gently pinching each one.
2. Pat the roasted red peppers dry with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
3. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth.
4. Add the roasted red peppers and olive oil. Blend again until creamy and fully combined.
5. Adjust consistency with water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more salt, lemon, or garlic as desired. Add cumin if using.
7. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with paprika or herbs. Serve or store.
Notes
Use jarred or homemade roasted red peppers—both work great.
To store, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
For an extra creamy texture, peel your chickpeas before blending.
