The BEST roasted red pepper hummus recipe! You’ll love this super creamy hummus full of roasted red pepper, garlic, and a touch of paprika!
Some of the stranger foods I’ve snuck into movie theaters: Sonic Milkshakes, KFC, pumpkin pie, sweet potato fries, a bag of pecans. You get the idea, I’m real big on sneaking any food that’s currently on my mind into the movie theater. The food currently on my mind for the next movie I attend? My super creamy roasted red pepper hummus! Will I get some weird side eyes from folks wondering what the weird girl has stashed in her Tupperware? Most likely. But those carrot sticks and pita chips aren’t going to dip themselves! Seriously though this hummus is so creamy and yummy and has the most delicious twist of sweet roasted red peppers that just takes it to the next level. Perfect for dipping, spreading on toast, or using in a wrap. You’re going to love!
To make this Roasted Red Pepper Hummus you will need:
- roasted red pepper
- tahini (this is my favorite)
- olive oil
- garbanzo beans/ chick peas
- liquid from chick pea can
- lemon
- garlic clove
- cumin
- paprika
- salt to taste
A few notes:
1. The key to a super smooth and light hummus is to let the food processor go for several minutes even if it’s looking smooth (I let mine run for about 5 min). The addition of the chick pea liquid will also help to make it super light and fluffy.
