Ingredients
- 450 g red bell peppers, cut in half, stems, seeds and membranes removed. Roasted. Reserve a small piece for topping, chopped
- 690 g boiled chickpeas, skins removed
- 6 tbsp tahini, good quality tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 garlic clove, minced & soaked in the lemon juice for 10 minutes
- 1 tsp cumin, freshly ground
- 3 tbsp unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3 ice cubes
- 3/4 tsp chili powder, optionally, for spicy version
Toppings
- 1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, optional
- 1 sprinkle paprika powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 235ºC/450ºF.
- Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the stems, seeds and membranes.
- Place cut side down on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the skins are dark.
- Let them cool to room temperature and peel the skins off. Reserve a small piece for topping, chopped. Discard the skins.
- Make sure you remove the chickpeas' skin, as this will make the biggest difference when it comes to achieving the perfect silky-smooth hummus texture. Don't skip!
- Soak the minced garlic in the freshly squeezed lemon juice for 10 minutes. This will also make a huge difference in flavour as the garlic will lose its harsh taste and mellow out.
- In a food processor, combine the skinless chickpeas, roasted and skinned red peppers, tahini, garlic and lemon mixture, freshly ground cumin, unsweetened soy milk, and sea salt, and process until the mixture is smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides.
- Now taste the hummus and add any extra seasoning if desired. Stir in the ice cubes and process again until the mixture looks silky-smooth, pale, and very creamy.
- Add the chili powder now for the spicy version. Totally recommended!
- Scrape the hummus into a plate and use a spoon to create nice swooshes on top.
- Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and top with a sprinkle of paprika powder and extra chopped roasted red pepper. Enjoy, you're going to love our Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe!
Notes
- Store in an air-tight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
