Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole red bell peppers
- 2 whole green bell peppers
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red and green bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Place the bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skins are blistered and slightly charred.
While the peppers roast, prepare the garlic yogurt. Finely mince or grate the garlic cloves and mix them into the Greek yogurt. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes until they are easy to handle. Peel off the skins (optional, but recommended for a smoother texture), remove the stems and seeds, and slice the peppers into thick strips.
Arrange the roasted pepper strips on a serving platter.
In a small pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the paprika and dried mint, stirring gently for about 30 seconds until they release their aroma. Be careful not to burn the spices.
Drizzle the garlic yogurt over the roasted peppers, then pour the spiced olive oil on top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
