Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it.
If not using store-bought roasted red peppers, roast fresh red peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until their skins are charred. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover, and let them rest for 10 minutes before peeling off the skin. Remove the seeds and stems.
Add the roasted peppers, feta cheese, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper into a food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with extra paprika or chili flakes for garnish.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
