Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Green bell pepper
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 60 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the green bell peppers in the oven for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are blistered and slightly charred.
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Once cool, peel off the skins and discard the seeds and stems.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (do not let them burn).
In a food processor, combine the roasted green peppers, sautéed garlic, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
