Ingredients

• 2 large red bell peppers
• 400 grams canned chickpeas
• 200 grams plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 2

Place the two red bell peppers on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered, turning halfway through.

Step 3

While the peppers roast, drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.

Step 4

Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and let them sit for about 5 minutes. This will make peeling them easier.

Step 5

Peel the charred skin off the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and roughly chop the peppers.

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the chopped roasted peppers, chickpeas, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic cloves.

Step 7

Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 8

Add salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and cumin to the mixture and blend again until well incorporated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

Step 10

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnishing with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.

Step 11

Serve the roasted capsicum dip with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or your choice of crackers for dipping.
