1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed Shop
1 jar (12 oz) roasted red peppers, drained Shop
2 tbsp tahini Shop
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1 Combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, drained roasted red peppers, tahini, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic in a food processor. Pulse a few times to break down the larger ingredients.
2 With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Continue to process until the mixture starts to become smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 2-3 minutes.
3 Add the salt and smoked paprika to the food processor. Process again until the hummus is very smooth and creamy, approximately 3-5 minutes. If the hummus is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
4 Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or paprika to suit your preference. The total processing time should be around 8-10 minutes to achieve a silky texture.
5 Transfer the roasted red pepper hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of smoked paprika for garnish. Serve immediately with gluten-free pita bread, vegetable sticks, or your favorite gluten-free crackers.

Tips & Notes

Pat the jarred roasted red peppers dry. Extra brine makes the hummus thin and too sharp.
Add water only after the peppers are fully blended. They release plenty of moisture on their own.
Choose roasted red peppers and tahini labeled gluten-free. Plain peppers in brine are usually fine, but check for added seasonings.
