Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2-4 tablespoons ice water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it starts to break down. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice water. This helps create a creamier texture.
  4. Continue processing until the hummus is very smooth. If it seems too thick, add the remaining ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want more salt or lemon juice.
  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch more smoked paprika before serving.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality jarred roasted red peppers.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a touch more lemon juice.
  • If you do not have smoked paprika, regular paprika works, but you will lose the smoky depth.
  • This hummus tastes best when allowed to sit for about 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
