Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
Peel the charred skins off the peppers once they have cooled slightly. Remove the seeds and stems, then roughly chop the roasted peppers.
In a food processor, add the roasted red peppers, goat cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced vegetables, or bread, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
