Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas
• 2 whole roasted red peppers
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp cold water

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

If not using jarred roasted red peppers, roast two red peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Let them cool, then peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.

Step 5

If the hummus is too thick, add the cold water one tablespoon at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or rosemary to your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika (optional), and a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation.

Step 8

Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or crackers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
