Roast in the oven for 10 minutes and remove the garlic cloves (they should a bit soft to the touch, if not, bake them for 5 more minutes). Place the bell pepper back in the oven for another 20 – 25 minutes, until the skin is bubbly and burned in a few spots. - Take the bell pepper out of the oven, place it in a glass/ceramic bowl and put a big plate on top (you could also use plastic wrap, but there's something about the plastic-heat combo that I don’t like). This will steam the bell pepper and make it easier to peel. Let it cool down like that. Once cold, use your fingers to remove the skin of the pepper. Discard the skin. - While the red pepper cools down, peel the garlic cloves and toss them in the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend for a few seconds. - Add the red pepper’s flesh and continue blending until smooth and creamy. Taste, and adjust seasonings. - Grab some whole-grain crackers and enjoy! - You can store the hummus in an air-tight container in the fridge for 7 – 10 days. ### Video ### Notes *If you want to make this extra creamy you have to use overcooked/mushy chickpeas. My favorite tip: using baking soda. Add cooked chickpeas to a medium saucepan, add water and ½ tsp of baking soda. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes. Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/12/12/roasted-red-pepper-hummus/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F12%2F12%2Froasted-red-pepper-hummus%2F) to post a comment.
