Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Red bell peppers
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red bell peppers and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the skin is charred and they are tender.
Once roasted, remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
After steaming, peel the skins off the peppers, remove the seeds, and discard the stems.
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, garlic, and low-fat Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth.
Add lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture in the food processor. Blend again until well combined and smooth.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve with fresh vegetables or whole-grain pita for dipping.
