Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
Wash and dry the red bell peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems.
Place the peppers cut side down on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle with half of the olive oil.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the skins are blackened and blistered.
While the peppers are roasting, mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the peppers are done, carefully remove them from the oven and transfer to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes. This makes it easier to peel the skin off.
Peel the skins from the peppers and discard them.
In a food processor, combine the peeled peppers, low-fat Greek yogurt, minced garlic, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika.
Serve with your choice of vegetables, pita chips, or use as a spread.
