This simple Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe contains bell peppers, chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
You all know how much I love my hummus! Plain, garlic, spinach, and now with roasted red pepper. Dip in some pita wedges or veggies, either way, enjoy this healthy dip!
Hummus is a great snack or side dish because it is full of protein and contains tons of vitamins and minerals. What’s better is you can skip the store-bought stuff because hummus is super quick and easy to make yourself!
Serve with pita bread for a healthy snack or appetizer.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers roasted, peeled, and chopped
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a strainer under cool water. Some of the skins will fall off easily. If you have the time and patience to remove the skins, do it! This will make for a smoother hummus.
- Combine everything in your food processor. Blend the hummus until it becomes smooth, about 2 minutes. As needed, scrape down the sides to incorporate each ingredient.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. To serve, spread out on a platter, sprinkle with a little paprika, and enjoy with raw vegetables or pita wedges.To store, place in a sealed container for up to one week in the refrigerator.
