A couple of weeks ago I woke up craving homemade hummus, so I decided to make some. While gathering ingredients I noticed a jar of roasted red peppers next to the tahini and thought it would be a delicious addition. The roasted pepper hummus I made was vibrant, smoky, and incredibly flavorful.
This hummus is a great option for a healthy snack or appetizer. It comes together quickly in a food processor and keeps well in the refrigerator, making it ideal for meal prep or entertaining. The roasted pepper adds a bright color and a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the nuttiness of tahini and the creaminess of chickpeas.
Serve this hummus with warm pita, fresh vegetables, or use it as a spread on sandwiches. Adjust the spices to your taste—add more chili powder for heat or a touch more lemon for brightness. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect when you want a quick homemade dip.
