To broil the red peppers, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the peppers and place them on the baking sheet. Broil 4"-6" from the top of the broiler for five minutes. Turn the peppers every two minutes until all the sides are blistered and blackened.

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bow. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them stand for 20 minutes.

Peel the skins off the peppers. Remove the stems and cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place the peppers in a food processor and add the beans (or chickpeas), lemon juice, tahini, oil, garlic, and all the seasonings. Cover and process until well blended.

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and serve with cut veggies, pita bread, and your favorite crackers.
