Ingredients

• 3 pieces Red bell peppers
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 3

Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems. Place the peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Add the garlic cloves to the baking sheet (leave the skin on to prevent burning).

Step 5

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the peppers and garlic.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and their skins are charred and blistered.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the peppers and garlic cool for 10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.

Step 8

Peel the charred skin off the roasted peppers and discard it. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted peppers, roasted garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to a food processor or blender.

Step 10

Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika to your liking.

Step 11

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
