For Day 3 of “Hip Hip for Hummus Week”, I excited to present one of my all-time favorites — roasted red pepper and feta hummus!
I’ve loved red pepper hummus for years, but it wasn’t until recently that I randomly tossed a little feta into the mix and fell in love with the combination. And then when accented by some smoked or sweet paprika, it’s absolutely irresistible!!! And, by contrast to yesterday’s post, I must say it’s a lovely color as well. :)
So if you’ve never made this one at home before, definitely encourage you to give it a try!!

- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
pinch of salt, to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor, and blend until smooth. Add in 3-4 tablespoons of water (or leftover chickpea juice) until the hummus reaches your desired consistency, then blend until smooth.
- Garnish with crumbled feta, chopped roasted red peppers and/or chopped parsley if desired. Then serve or refrigerate.
Ali’s Tip:
If you’re not a huge fan of feta, feel free to sub in another crumbly cheese (gorgonzola, goat cheese, bleu, etc.). OR this recipe is also completely delicious without the cheese!
Do you use jarred roasted red peppers or roast your own?
This is honestly the best red pepper hummus dip out there ! We love your recipes and make them a lot . This one I ate at a friends place – and of course it was your recipe !
Made this recipe for a family get-together. I added another 1/4C. Feta cheese, a Jalapeno, and some chili powder. Then I left out the cumin.
I love recipes like this because it a great base to play around with flavor profiles.
Thanks!
Just made this and it is DELISH! The seasonings are perfectly proportioned for this hummus. Wouldn’t change a thing!!!
Thank you so much! I just made it, you were right, it is delicious.
