Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 medium-sized roasted red pepper (jarred or homemade)

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt, to taste

Water, as needed for consistency

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Paprika or smoked paprika (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Roast the Red Pepper (if making fresh): Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Cut the red pepper in half, remove the seeds, and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let cool, then peel off the skin.

    Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red pepper, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and ground cumin. Blend until smooth.

      Adjust Texture: If the hummus is too thick, add small amounts of water (1 tablespoon at a time) until the desired creamy consistency is achieved.

        Season to Taste: Taste the hummus and add salt as needed. Blend again for a few seconds to incorporate the seasoning.

          Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chopped parsley and paprika (or smoked paprika) for garnish.

            Enjoy: Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches.
