Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large red bell peppers
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Rinse and dry the red bell peppers. Place them whole on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through until the skin is blistered and charred.
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves and prepare the other ingredients.
Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes.
In a food processor, combine roasted peppers, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
For a bit of extra flair, stir in finely chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or bread of choice.
