Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that holds a special place in my kitchen: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. This delightful twist on the classic hummus combines the smoky sweetness of roasted red bell peppers with the rich creaminess of traditional hummus, creating a flavor explosion that’s perfect for every season. Whether you’re enjoying it as a snack with gluten-free pita chips or as a part of a larger mezze spread, this hummus is sure to become a staple in your home. Let’s dive into this delicious and vibrant recipe and make some unforgettable memories in the kitchen!

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
2. Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid to steam for about 10 minutes. This will make the skins easier to peel off.
3. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skins, stems, and seeds. Set the roasted red pepper flesh aside.
4. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, and roasted red peppers. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5. If the hummus is too thick, add warm water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Give it one final blend to ensure everything is well combined.
7. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika for an extra touch of color and flavor.
8. Serve with gluten-free pita chips and fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips:

• If you’re short on time, you can use jarred roasted red peppers as a quick alternative to roasting your own.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a bit of heat.
• For a smokier flavor, try adding a touch of smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.

Storage Instructions and Substitutions:

• Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• Feel free to substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a different citrus twist.

Pairings:

• Enjoy this hummus with a side of olives and feta for a delightful Mediterranean feast.
• Pair it with a refreshing cucumber and mint salad for a balanced meal.
• A cup of mint tea complements the flavors beautifully.
