Ingredients

• 3 large red bell peppers
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast them in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 3

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel the skins.

Step 4

Once cooled, peel the skin off the peppers and remove the stems and seeds.

Step 5

In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, cream cheese, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve immediately with low-carb vegetables like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or as a spread on low-carb crackers.
