Ingredients
- 2 large Roasted red bell peppers
- 0.5 cup Raw almonds
- 1 clove Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw almonds on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Step 2
Step 2: While the almonds are cooling, drain and pat dry the roasted red bell peppers if they’re from a jar. If roasting fresh red peppers from scratch, char them over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are blackens, place them in a covered bowl or sealed bag for 10 minutes to steam, then peel off the skins and remove the seeds.
Step 3
Step 3: Add the roasted red bell peppers, cooled almonds, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Step 4
Step 4: Blend the mixture on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Step 5: Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for brightness, salt for enhancing flavor, or cayenne for extra heat.
Step 6
Step 6: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or chopped almonds if desired. Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or use as a spread. Enjoy!
