    I don't know about you, but I love hummus!

    It makes a healthy snack, especially when paired with fresh veggies. And it's perfect for parties, too ... pretty much everyone and their mother loves it, right?

    I've been making homemade hummus for years, and this Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe is a favorite. It's creamy, delicious, and packed with flavor.

    You are going to love it!

    Have you ever made hummus? If not, you might be surprised by just how simple it is to make!

    You only need a few ingredients to make this easy hummus recipe, and it's ready in less than 15 minutes.

    It's also more affordable than store bought hummus. Have you ever noticed how pricey that stuff gets?

    It's kind of crazy considering that you only need a few basic ingredients to make hummus at home.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients for this homemade hummus are simple and healthy:

    • fresh garlic
    • chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
    • tahini
    • fresh lemon juice
    • salt
    • cayenne (optional)
    • roasted red peppers

    The one ingredient that can be hard to find is tahini, which is a pureed sesame paste. Hummus just doesn't taste the same without tahini, so do try track it down. You can buy tahini on Amazon. too.

    If you're concerned about tahini's cost, then you'll be happy to know that one jar will make many batches of hummus. Here are 14 other ways to use tahini, too!

    How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

    You won't believe how simple this recipe is to make!

    To make this hummus recipe, you'll start by pulsing a garlic clove until minced in a food processor.

    Once the garlic is minced, you'll add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne, if using. Process everything until totally smooth ... it should take about two to three minutes. If your hummus is too dry to blend, add a tablespoon of water.

    Finally, add the roasted red peppers. I like my hummus with the red peppers a little chunky, but feel free to blend your hummus until the peppers are totally blended in, if desired.

    What to Serve with Hummus

    This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is healthy, vegan, and gluten-free ... and of course, it's super tasty! Serve it with fresh veggies (like carrots, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers), pita bread, homemade pita chips or homemade Parmesan Herb Crackers.
