Ingredients
Scale
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup roasted red peppers, drained (jarred or fresh roasted)
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup water (or more, for desired consistency)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, for topping
Paprika, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Place the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin into a food processor.
Process the ingredients until mostly smooth.
With the food processor running, slowly stream in the water until the hummus reaches your preferred creamy consistency. You may need slightly more or less water.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the top with a little extra olive oil.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
Dust lightly with paprika, if using.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
If you roast your own red peppers, char them over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is blackened. Place them in a sealed bag for 10 minutes to steam, then peel the skin off before using.
For a smoother texture, make sure to scrape down the sides of the food processor halfway through blending.
This hummus tastes best when made a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
