Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Slice the red peppers and remove the seeds and core. Place the pieces on a parchment lined baking tray, skin side up.

Roast in the oven for 25 minutes until the skins are nicely charred.

Remove from the oven and place into a bowl and cover it with foil. Leave for 15 minutes. This will allow the peppers to steam a bit and the skins to loosen.

Remove the peppers from the bowl and slice off the skins. Slice off a couple of strips of roasted red pepper to decorate your hummus (optional).

Add the red peppers to a food processor along with the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, paprika, salt and cayenne. Process into a smooth hummus.

Decorate with a couple of strips of roasted red pepper, a sprinkle of paprika and sesame seeds (optional).

Serve with flat breads and fresh chopped vegetables for dipping.
