Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the red bell peppers thoroughly, slice them in half, and remove the seeds and membranes.
Place the pepper halves skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the skins are blistered and charred.
Remove the peppers from the oven, place them in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let them cool for about 10 minutes to help the skins loosen.
Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.
Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and discard them.
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, chopped garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and remaining olive oil.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the Greek yogurt until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the dip.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.
