Make your own
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (250°C).
- Add the bell pepper and garlic to a parchment-lined baking tray. Toss with oil, and bake in the middle rack of the oven until the garlic peel is golden, and the bell pepper is lightly charred, about 25 minutes. Stop to flip the bell peppers once halfway.
- When the bell peppers have cooled enough to handle, remove any charred bits from the bell peppers, if desired. Remove the peel from the garlic cloves.
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend on high until well combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until creamy. The longer you blend, the creamier the hummus becomes.
- If you'd like the hummus even creamier, add more olive oil and/or tahini. If you'd like the hummus to be zestier, add more lemon juice.
- Plate, garnish, and serve!
Notes
- Make-ahead this hummus to enjoy in sandwiches or wraps throughout the week!
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

So good! I garnished it with toasted pine nuts, some finely chopped roasted red pepper, ground oregano and a little more paprika. Great flavor and very pretty presentation!
Love this hummus!
Haven’t bought hummus ever since I’ve tried this recipe, it’s my go to. Even my super picky brother loves it, so so so yummy! 🌱🤍
This is a simple and amazingly tasty hummus! Love this. Anyone be able to do it! 😋😋😋
Slightly sweet hummus. It used up the entire jar of roasted peppers! I think I still prefer your beet and avocado hummus better.
I enjoyed this recipe, it was good!
Do you know roughly how many calories there are in this?
Just tried this delicious recipe, my first self-made hummus ever and I m absolutely enthusiastic about it. So creamy, and the flavour of the roasted bell pepper gives it a great and special twist and taste to the traditional hummus. Not expensive and easy to make....successful the first time (I m not the most talented cook ;) ) Thank you for the recipe!
I did like Agate: I used roasted bell peppers from a jar. So convenient without compromising the taste. Love this variation with bell pepper and garlic as well as the balance between sweet, sour, and umami. I really need to add more salt when I make your hummus recipes, as I use a brand that doesn’t add salt to their canned chickpeas... Which is very good though👏🏼
This is honestly the best hummus I've ever made! It has the perfect, balanced flavour and texture, makes a big batch, and is so easy to make! Thank you so much for the recipe!
Love this recipe! Its also quite quick, if your local store has roasted bell peppers in a jar. My recommendation though - don't be afraid to adjust seasoning to your taste buds. I typically add more lemon juice and add more salt in the form of soy sauce. After discovering this recipe I have stopped buying ready-made hummus - this is way more delicious and cheaper!
