Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus
Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a great way to add some flavor and nutrition to your meals. The key ingredient in this recipe is the roasted bell pepper, which gives the hummus a smoky and sweet flavor.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons of tahini
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds and stem. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Once the pepper is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
In a food processor, combine the roasted bell pepper, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, you can add a little bit of water to thin it out.
Once the hummus is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with some chopped parsley or paprika. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
This Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus is a perfect appetizer or snack that is both healthy and delicious. The smoky and sweet flavor of the roasted bell pepper pairs perfectly with the creamy and nutty flavor of the chickpeas and tahini. The appearance of this dish is vibrant and colorful, with a bright orange hue from the roasted bell pepper. The taste is rich and satisfying, with a perfect balance of flavors.
