Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is a quick and easy dip with roasted red peppers. Flavorful and so much better than store-bought!
I make roasted red peppers at home all the time and use it in pasta and now love to add it to my hummus.
Making a delicious hummus right in your kitchen is so easy! All you need is chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. It’s a perfect healthy dip and spread with a lot of flavors. I have been playing with different add-ons to make variations and this Roasted Red Pepper one is my current favorite.
Ingredients:
- chickpeas or garbanzo beans
- roasted red peppers
- tahini (optional)
- garlic
- lemon juice
- olive or grapeseed oil
How to make it?
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until smooth. Add more oil if needed.

Serving
I like to serve hummus with veggie sticks (celery, carrots, etc.), pretzels, tortilla chips, crackers or even as a sandwich spread.

Yes! You can place prepared hummus in a freezer-safe container and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge and enjoy!

Do you need to peel the peppers after roasting or can they be thrown in the blender. too?
Anna says
The skin can add a bitter taste. I always take it off.
Socorro Montoya says
This is a great hummus recipe and super easy!! The taste was so spot on. I dry roasted my own red peppers on a cast iron skillet and it worked just fine. I even made my own tahini! Not too bad for my first time. Recipe is a keeper!
