Step 1
Slice the 1 red bell pepper and 1 zucchini into 1/2 inch strips. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables in a single layer, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Spread the 1.5 cups hummus onto a serving plate, creating a swirl with the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Arrange the grilled vegetables over the hummus. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
Step 5
Drizzle with 2 tbsp balsamic glaze. Serve with toasted bread or croutons if desired.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of smoked paprika or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
