Ingredients

• 2 large roasted red peppers
• 1 can (15 oz) canned white beans (cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

If using jarred roasted red peppers, skip to the next step. Otherwise, roast the red peppers by placing them directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning until the skin is charred evenly on all sides. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a plate, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and discard.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, white beans, feta cheese, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 6

Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and bell pepper strips. Enjoy!
