Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Roasted red peppers (jarred or freshly roasted)
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Parsley (optional, chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh red peppers, start by slicing them in half, removing the seeds, and roasting them at 450°F (232°C) for 20 minutes. Once roasted, let them cool and peel off the charred skins.
In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, cream cheese, garlic clove, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed.
Add salt and black pepper to taste and blend again to combine.
If desired, fold in freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Transfer the spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with sandwiches, wraps, crackers, or as a dip for veggies. Keep refrigerated and consume within 5 days.
