This simple homemade hummus with roasted red pepper makes a very tasty and healthy appetizer. Serve with crackers or pita chips!
I just came back from a trip to Istanbul in Turkey, where I had an amazing time and a beautiful weather as well. Of course, I also spent some time discovering and tasting the traditional food. Hummus was everywhere and I felt quite lucky because I’m obsessed with hummus!
Among all the yummy dishes I tried, here are some I warmly recommend if you’re heading to Turkey one day:
- the menemen (traditional Turkish breakfast made with scrambled eggs cooked in sautéed vegetables)
- the pide (a boat-shaped flatbread a bit like pizza and served with a variety of toppings, often minced meat or spinach and cheese)
- the su böreği (something in between lasagna and pastry, made from dough softened and cooked with milk and eggs, often stuffed with spinach and cheese)
- the balik ekmek (a Turkish fish sandwich)
- the imam bayildi (stuffed aubergines which are to die for)
- and of course the traditional meze, a range of cold appetizer served in small dishes and to eat with bread!
Since my mind is still a bit in Istanbul today, I chose to share with you the traditional hummus recipe, made from cooked mashed chickpeas, and for which I added a little twist of roasted peppers. Almost nothing else.
This recipe is incredibly simple and once you tried it, you will never buy a jar of hummus in the store again. This one takes you only a few minutes to make and tastes so much better! A delicious spread to serve as an appetizer for a dinner with your friends!

This simple homemade hummus with roasted red pepper makes a very tasty and healthy appetizer. Serve with crackers or pita chips!
Ingredients
- 1 large red pepper
- 14 oz (400g) canned chickpeas, drained
- 3 Tablespoons red pepper oil (from the roasted red pepper)
- 1 Tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon miso paste
- 2 large lemon (juice)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika spice (+ some more to decorate)
- 1 Tablespoon virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven on the grill position and when it’s warm enough, grill the red pepper on all sides until the skin darkens.
- When ready, remove from the oven, lay out in a bowl and cover with a plate.
- Let it cool for a while and then remove the skin and seeds (remember to keep the oil from the red pepper, you will need it later in the recipe).
- Mix all the ingredients with a food processor. In order to obtain the perfect consistency (not too thick and without tiny bits chickpeas), slowly add 2 or 3 Tablespoons of water with the processor turned on until you get a creamy hummus. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the hummus into a bowl, drizzle about one tablespoon of olive oil over the top and sprinkle some paprika.

Bonjour Del,
je suis toujours en admiration devant vous !
j’adore votre cuisine et je m’inspire bcp de vos recettes pour préparer mes menus de la semaine. Vous êtes une grande source d’inspiration pour moi et je vous en remercie.
J’aimerai bcp vous rencontrer… un jour peut-être …
Avez-vous penser à faire des conférences sur votre alimentation ? Je ne souhaite pas devenir végan ou végétarien mais fortement réduire ma consommation en viande.
Pour en finir pour ce commentaire, je souhaiterai savoir si je peux remplacer l’huile de poivron par une autre huile ? (en prenant en compte que le goût du poivron sera forcément moins prononcé.
En revanche pour la cuillère à soupe de miso par quoi puis-je la substituer ? Mon mari n’apprécie pas le goût du miso.
Merci d’avance pour votre réponse et à bientôt !
Bozu
Je découvre avec plaisir, cette belle recette colorée, elle me met l’eau à la bouche !!!
Petite question :
Dans le dérouler de ta recette tu dis en 4) (ni trop épaisse et sans petits morceaux de pois chiches) ?
Mais il n’y a pas de pois chiche dans tes ingrédients ???
Peux-tu m’éclairer ? Merci beaucoup
Delphine Fortin

Debi @ Life Currents
I love making my own hummus! This is fabulous. I love that you added miso paste to it. Just a question, which kind of miso paste did you add. I cold see that white or red would taste yummy.
Delphine Fortin
Hi Debi! It was actually one of my first attempt of the hummus. When I noticed how easy it was I wondered why I haven’t tried earlier!! I used the red miso paste for this recipe. I guess it can work with the others as well!
Lynne
The hummus was great!
