Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Red bell pepper
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 minced Garlic clove
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the bell peppers in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes. This will make the skins easier to remove.
Peel the charred skin off the peppers and discard. Allow the roasted peppers to cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, orange zest, orange juice, smoked paprika, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or orange juice if desired.
Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, fresh veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Enjoy!
