ROASTED SWEET PEPPER AND CHICKPEA DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle peppers with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, about 18 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub off skins and remove stems and seeds.
• In a food processor, puree chickpeas and garlic until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add roasted peppers and vinegar and puree until combined. With machine running, drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with radishes.

CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and arrange racks on the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Spread onto a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and top with 3 thyme sprigs.
• On a second sheet pan, combine bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and remaining thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread vegetables into one layer.
• Place chickpea pan on the bottom rack and vegetables on the top rack and roast for 10 minutes. Switch pan positions. Roast chickpeas until crisped but still tender, about 5 minutes, and roast vegetables until golden brown, about 10 minutes. If the vegetables are tender but not browned, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize. Discard thyme sprigs.
• While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, whisk lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
• Arrange vegetables on a large platter and drizzle with half the dressing, then top with crispy chickpeas, fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Serve with couscous or rice, if you like.

SPICED SWEET ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Steps:

• In an electric blender or food processor, puree the chickpeas, red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Process, using long pulses, until the mixture is fairly smooth, and slightly fluffy. Make sure to scrape the mixture off the sides of the food processor or blender in between pulses. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving.)
• Sprinkle the hummus with the chopped parsley before serving.
