This recipe is very easy to make, even the roasted red peppers. You’ll need some extra time to roast the red peppers, if you haven’t already but other than that, it’s fairly quick and easy. The recipe is vegan, oil-free, low in fat and sugar-free.

Hummus Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this hummus:

  1. Roasted red peppers. You can find all the details on how to make roasted red peppers here. You’ll need about 20 minutes to make them to use in this recipe.
  2. Chickpeas. I used canned chickpeas or 2 cups of cooked chickpeas.
  3. Tahini. Tahini is an essential hummus ingredient. The kind I like to use is fairly drippy so if yours is quite dry, you may need to add a little water to the recipe to adjust the consistency.
  4. Lemon. Fresh lemon juice is another hummus-must!
  5. Garlic. Throw in a couple cloves of garlic.
  6. Sea salt. I seasoned the hummus with sea salt. Start with 1 tsp then adjust to taste, if needed.

That’s it! It couldn’t be easier either. Just blend up those ingredients and it’s ready to enjoy.

How to Make Roasted Red Peppers

How to Blend the Hummus

This hummus can be made in a high-speed blender or a food processor. I like a food processor best for making hummus but the blades in mine aren’t super sharp so I used my Vitamix for a smooth result here. Both options work just fine but a blender will require a little more attention as you have to repeatedly stop and scrape down the sides.

    Thank you for your recipe. Used jarred peppers because thatโ€™s what was in the pantry. Swapped harissa for the crushed pepper and the final product was outstanding. ย Homemade sourdough toast, red pepper hummus, heirloom tomatoes and bacon here we come!ย
