    roasted red pepper hummus

    This easy to make and delicious roasted red pepper hummus recipe can be enjoyed as a dip with bread or vegetables. It’s considered as a healthy snack and is an excellent source of plant-based protein.

    Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

    Homemade roasted red pepper hummus is the perfect vegan dip to serve along with bread or vegetables. It’s ideal for a brunch, TV night, or when you invite your friends and family over.

    Not only is this vegan dip delicious to eat but also a great source of protein. Adding roasted red peppers to homemade hummus makes it sweeter and gives the hummus a beautiful orange color. If you like it spicy, make sure to add cayenne pepper.

    If you don’t like roasted red pepper in your hummus, go along with this recipe: Basic Homemade Hummus.

    Use Homemade Oven Roasted Peppers

    I highly recommend using homemade oven roasted red peppers for this hummus recipe. You only need a few peppers and 30 minutes of your time. Here is the recipe-guide: How to Roast Red Peppers. My suggestion is to use sweet red peppers. Don’t worry if you are running short in time: this hummus recipe also tastes delicious with store-bought roasted red peppers.

    Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Ingredients

    • Cooked or canned chickpeas: The primary ingredient of homemade hummus.
    • Roasted red peppers: They give your hummus a delicious sweet taste and a bright orange-red color.
    • Aquafaba, the drained water of chickpeas: Use this instead of water to make your hummus extra fluffy.
    • Tahini: Also known as sesame paste – gives your hummus a unique taste.
    • Lemon juice: The sour element for a balanced flavor.
    • Spices such as garlic, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper.

    Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe

    • Start with roasting and peeling red peppers. If you are short in time, you can use storebought roasted red peppers.
    • Add all ingredients to a food processor.

      Is there a substitution for tahini? I would love to make this recipe today, but I don’t have tahini or sesame seeds and with social distancing I don’t run to the store for one ingredient, I only shop once a week.

        Hi Alicia,
        No, unfortunately, you can’t substitute the Tahini with any other ingredient. The use of tahini is crucial to make a tasty hummus. You could make it without, but I do not recommend it as it would alter the taste too much. Sorry!
