Ingredients

• 3 whole red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 3

Wash the red bell peppers, then cut them in half and remove the seeds and membranes.

Step 4

Place the bell peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking tray.

Step 5

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and blackened.

Step 6

While the peppers are roasting, mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 7

Once roasted, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes; this will make peeling off the skin easier.

Step 8

Peel the blistered skin off the roasted peppers and discard.

Step 9

In a food processor, combine the peeled bell peppers, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 10

Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.

Step 11

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 12

Serve the dip with bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks and enjoy!
