Ingredients

• 3 large Red bell peppers
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cumin

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the red bell peppers on the sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides.

Step 3

While the peppers are roasting, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and immediately place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap to steam the peppers for about 10 minutes. This will help to easily peel off the skins.

Step 5

Once steamed, uncover the bowl and let the peppers cool until they are safe to handle. Peel off the skins and remove the stems and seeds.

Step 6

In a food processor, add the roasted peppers, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.

Step 7

Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve chilled with your choice of dippers such as vegetable sticks, pita bread, or chips.
