Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Brunch Board Recipe

Serves: 8 - 12

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook / Active Time: 10 minutes

Assembly Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus:

1 can of Chickpeas, roasted (also called Garbanzo Beans)

1 tsp. Paprika

⅓ cup Tahini (I used Lior All Natural Tahini)

1 Lemon, juiced

1 tsp. Minced Garlic

½ tsp. Salt & Pepper

1/4 cup of Roasted Red Peppers + some marinating liquid (I used the Botticelli brand, but use which you like)

3 - 4 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Optional toppings: Feta Cheese, Kalamata Olives, Dried Parsley

Grazing Options: you can literally put anything you want with roasted Red Pepper Hummus but these are a few great options.

Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, Carrots, Celery, Cherry Tomatoes, Bagel Chips, Pita Chips, Toasted Bread, Crackers, Pita Bread, Pretzels, Olives, Chips

Directions:

Roast the chickpeas: set your oven to 300 degree F. Open the chickpeas and drain the liquid from the can. On a baking sheet lined with tin foil, pour chickpeas out, sprinkling with paprika. You can also season with salt and pepper but be mindful when adding it to the blended hummus. Roast chickpeas for 12 -15 minutes until lightly browned, they should be dry but not crunchy.
Blend the tahini: in a food processor or blender add tahini, half of the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Pulse in the food processor in 10 second intervals 2 - 3 times. Tahini will look grainy at first, between pulses, add the other half of lemon juice. Tahini should look creamy and light in color.
Blend hummus: when the chickpeas have cooled for at least 5 minutes, add them to the food processor. Pulse quickly for 20 seconds and then add the roasted red peppers, 3 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil. Pulse together until the mixture looks smooth, 1 - 3 minutes. If you notice the chickpeas bunching up and unable to pulse, add the remaining 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Taste and season with more salt, pepper or paprika if necessary.
Serve hummus: The roasted red hummus can be served with a plethora of options like cut veggies, pretzels, and pita bread. Present this on a platter and if you want to be extra fancy you can top the hummus with kalamata olives, feta, and dried parsley.

Tips & Tricks: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Brunch Board

If you don’t have a blender or food processor:

I would recommend not toasting the chickpeas and using a mortar and pestle to ground the hummus. You can also try using an avocado masher and small fork, but texture will be slightly differently.

If you don’t like roasted red peppers:

Don’t use them! The classic hummus is just as delicious.

Tricks: Make this hummus for lunch and use it on salads and sandwiches all week.
