Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Red bell peppers
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Add the unpeeled garlic cloves to the baking sheet alongside the bell peppers.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the skins are lightly charred.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the peppers cool for 10 minutes, then peel off and discard the charred skins.
Peel the garlic cloves by squeezing out the soft roasted garlic from their skins.
Transfer the roasted peppers and garlic to a food processor or blender.
Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice or salt to taste.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly chopped parsley.
Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers, and enjoy!
