Previously, I showed y’all how to roast red peppers in the oven, and today I am showing you something you can make with them – this roasted red pepper hummus!πŸŽ‰πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Of course, you can use jarred roasted red peppers to make this quicker. I do that all the time.

If you need a heathy snack or appetizer, this is a great, yummy option.

This recipe is adapted from my classic hummus recipe, and the roasted red peppers just add another layer of delicious flavor.

Ingredients

Here is what I use to make roasted red pepper hummus. Nothing too crazy here, and you can find all of this in a traditional grocery store.

Chickpeas, lemon, veggies, seasonings and oil in small ingredient bowls, labeled with text on white surface

Even the tahini paste is pretty standard now.

I love assembly-only recipes! SO low key, and still super yummy.

Making this is just as simple as putting these few simple ingredients into my trusty food processor.

And voila! This yummy snack magically appears.

Toppings

You can eat it just as it is, and we often do. Of course, a little garnishing is always an option to level up the visual game and the textures.πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

    Looks ridiculously easy. I have tried to make hummus once and it turned out a little too chunky. I like that you add water until it’s just how you want it. Oh, and your presentation of it is beautiful too!
