This roasted red pepper hummus has a smoky and slightly sweet flavor from the roasted red pepper. It pairs well with the creaminess of the tahini and the tanginess of the lemon juice. Feel free to adjust the recipe by adding other ingredients like roasted garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs to create your own unique hummus flavour. Enjoy!
