Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Step 1

Pat the roasted red peppers very dry, removing as much water as possible.

Step 2

Combine the peppers, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and cumin in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth and well combined, 3 to 4 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time, as needed, to keep the processor moving. Add the olive oil and process for 10 more seconds.

Step 3

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and make a pretty swirl on the top. Top with parsley, a sprinkle of paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil, if you like. Serve with toasted pita, crackers, and olives.
