3 tablespoons lemon juice
1.5 tablespoons tahini
1 clove garlic, minced
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Purée the drained garbanzo beans, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt in a food processor or blender. Process with long pulses until the texture is fairly smooth and becomes slightly fluffy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.

Allow the hummus to come back to room temperature. Just before you are ready to serve, scatter the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
