Ingredients

• 3 large red bell peppers
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.

Step 3

Place the pepper halves skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with the olive oil.

Step 4

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 5

Remove the peppers from the oven, place them in a bowl, and cover with a plate to trap the steam. Let them cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins of the peppers and discard them.

Step 7

In a food processor, combine the peeled peppers, garlic cloves, cream cheese, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
