Equipment

Blender or food processor
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

8 sweet red peppers roasted, cleaned from skin and seeds (or 2 cups jarred peppers)
1 + ½ cup cooked chickpeas drained
1 tablespoon tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
3 tablespoons chickpea water (aquafaba) or fresh water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and dry the peppers, then roast them on the sheet for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and charred. If using jarred roasted peppers, skip this step.
Let peppers cool slightly, then peel and remove seeds.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Garnish the hummus with ground black seeds, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Fresh vs. Jarred peppers: While jarred red peppers are convenient, fresh ones offer a deeper, smokier flavor.
Roasting time: Keep a close eye on the peppers while roasting, as cooking times can vary depending on the size and thickness.
Peeling tip: Steaming the peppers after roasting makes peeling the skin easier.
For extra smooth hummus: Blend longer or add more water/olive oil.
Adjust seasonings to taste: As you blend the ingredients, taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed.
