Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large red bell peppers
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the red bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skins easier.
Meanwhile, place the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, remove the seeds and stems, and discard them.
In a food processor, combine the peeled peppers, toasted almonds, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want to add more lemon juice for acidity or more salt to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with your choice of crackers, vegetable sticks, or pita bread slices. Enjoy!
