This roasted red pepper hummus recipe is the perfect appetizer for any party. It’s quick and simple to make. Serve as an appetizer with your favorite veggies.
Optionally roast the red peppers and garlic in the oven (see instructions below); otherwise, use jarred sweet roasted red peppers.
Blend. To a food processor, add roasted peppers, extra virgin olive oil, cooked chickpeas, garlic (one if using raw garlic, two if using roasted garlic), tahini, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. You might have to scrape down the sides of the food processor.
Adjust seasoning. You can add some of the garbanzo beans liquid - in small amounts until you reach the desired consistency. Check the post, notes on adjusting seasoning.
Serve in a small bowl and garnish with more extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and or chopped parsley. Check the post suggestions for serving and garnishing.
