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

Method
 

  1. Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a food processor, combine the drained garbanzo beans, roasted red bell peppers, garlic clove, tahini, lemon juice, and kosher salt.
  3. Process on high speed for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. 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.
