This Red Pepper Hummus-Style Dip is so simple and it couldn’t be quicker to make – just throw everything into a blender/food processor and blitz!
Make sure to pick roasted red peppers in a jar of brine and not oil as these will help to keep your Red Pepper Hummus-Style Dip low on calories and Points.
We prefer roasted red peppers from a jar as they have a really sweet, intense flavour. But, if you wanted to roast your red peppers in the oven then you can just place them on an oven tray and spray with low calorie cooking spray. Cook at 150°C-180° for 30 minutes or so.
The smoked paprika gives this Red Pepper Hummus-Style Dip a really tangy flavour, but it’s entirely optional and you can always leave it out if you’d prefer!
Serve this Red Pepper Hummus-Style Dip with crudités, rice crackers or even on a slice of toast!
What diets is this Red Pepper Hummus-Style Dip suitable for?
This Red Pepper Hummus-Style Dip is suitable for dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets.

When it comes to small kitchen electricals, we often find that buying the cheapest isn’t always the best – you can pretty much guarantee that it’ll break!
Do yourself a favour and pick yourself a decent blender as it will do all of the hard work for you!
There are plenty of blenders/food processors choose from over on Amazon UK.
We prefer the intense, sweet flavour of the roasted red peppers that you get from a jar, just make sure that you pick up the ones in brine or vinegar and definitely not in oil.
You’ll be able to find these jars of peppers in most supermarkets.

Hi Michelle, so glad you enjoyed the Red Pepper Hummus!
SarahFriday 24th May 2019
Just wondering why you’re using butter beans and not chickpeas as it’s traditionally chickpeas, would this recipe still work if I used chickpeas?
CateSaturday 25th May 2019
We like the creamy texture you get with butter beans but you can use chickpeas if you prefer! 🙂
SarahThursday 21st March 2019
This is hands down the best homemade houmous recipe I have found, they always taste a bit meh so have stuck to ready made but this one is lush. Thank you.
CateMonday 8th April 2019
So glad you like it! 😀
Helen McQuistonMonday 4th March 2019
Made this today. It was tasty and really easy to do. I will say though i might steam or cook the garlic before blending, do you think that would work? The garlic cloves were jus a bit ???? for me.
SharonFriday 1st June 2018

Nicola MitchellWednesday 21st March 2018

Thanks
EvaSunday 18th March 2018
IF using and roastinga fresh pepper how much did you use? (Couldn’t get the Jarred ones)
Emma PocockTuesday 30th March 2021
If using fresh pepper instead of jarred pepper, how much would u suggest and does it need to be roasted or can it be left raw please.x Thankyou.x
HollyWednesday 31st March 2021
Hi Emma, we would suggest roasting the raw red pepper first for 30 minutes at 150ºC to 180ºC and it would be 1 red pepper, hope that helps!
Gemma BarkerFriday 5th January 2018
Hi,
Can you freeze this?
N smithFriday 10th November 2017
