Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups boiled chickpeas
  • 1 cup roasted red bell peppers (drained and squeezed)
  • ¼ cup tahini or add more if desired
  • 2-3 tablespoon aquafaba (chickpea water )
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • One lemon juiced or to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1-inch ginger peeled and chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend everything until well combined, smooth, and creamy.
  • Use the blender baton if you need to.
  • Instead of a high-power blender, you can make the hummus in a food processor.
  • Add more chickpea water or plain water as required to blend or to reach your desired consistency.
  • Transfer the roasted red pepper hummus into a serving bowl and top with desired garnishes.

Storing Suggestions

  • Roasted Red Pepper Hummus will last 4-5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Notes

  1. Chickpeas: Well-cooked or mushy chickpeas are essential for smooth and creamy hummus. Canned or home-cooked chickpeas will work for this recipe.
  2. Chickpea Water: Chickpea water, or aquafaba, makes the hummus fluffy and creamy. So, reserve your chickpea water until you make the hummus. However, instead of chickpea water, you can use cold water.
  3. Red Peppers: I like to use jarred roasted red peppers for easy and quick preparations. But you can roast the fresh bell peppers at home if you prefer.
  4. Ginger: It adds an earthy flavor to the hummus. But, if you do not want to use ginger, skip it.
  5. Tahini: You can still make this hummus if you do not have tahini. Instead of tahini, add 2 tablespoon of toasted white sesame seeds. However, do not add sesame seeds without toasting them.
  6. Spiciness: To add some heat to this roasted red pepper hummus, add green chili, jalapeno pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste. Blend with the rest of the ingredients.
