Tatooine Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (30m)

Instructions:

1. Place the whole red peppers on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Broil on high for 5–8 minutes per side until the skin is blackened and blistered.
3. Place the hot peppers in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam the skins for easy peeling.
4. Peel off the blistered skins from the red peppers.
5. Combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and cumin in a food processor and process on high for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
6. Add the peeled, roasted red peppers and smoked paprika to the processor and blend until the color is a uniform orange-red.
7. While the processor is running, drizzle in ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time until a light, airy, and velvety consistency is reached.
8. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed, then garnish with olive oil, smoked paprika, and fresh parsley.
