Ingredients

• 3 medium red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Wash the red bell peppers thoroughly and pat dry. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the peppers and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.

Step 4

Roast the peppers for about 20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skins are charred and the flesh is tender.

Step 5

Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

While waiting, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

Step 7

After steaming, peel the skins off the peppers. Remove the seeds and stems.

Step 8

In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, chopped garlic, tahini, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 10

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Pair with fresh vegetables or Paleo-friendly bread for dipping.
