Creamy Red Pepper Hummus
Red Pepper Hummus: whip up this vibrant and creamy dip in minutes. Perfect for a healthy snack or appetizer, packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 15.5 ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 6 ounces roasted red bell peppers (about 1 pepper)
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans thoroughly under cold water.
- In a food processor, combine the drained garbanzo beans, roasted red bell peppers, garlic clove, tahini, lemon juice, and kosher salt.
- Process on high speed for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Notes
- For the creamiest red pepper hummus, process it for an extra minute or two beyond just smooth, letting the blades really emulsify the ingredients. Adding a tiny splash of cold water or a drizzle of olive oil can help achieve that ultra-smooth consistency.
- To enhance the smoky flavor, you can lightly char your bell peppers over an open flame or under a broiler before roasting, then peel the skin.
- Storage: Store leftover red pepper hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. A thin layer of olive oil on top can help prevent it from drying out.
