Ingredients
- 2 whole Red bell pepper
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 minced Garlic clove
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the bell peppers in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
Step 4
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes. This will make the skins easier to remove.
Step 5
Peel the charred skin off the peppers and discard. Allow the roasted peppers to cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, orange zest, orange juice, smoked paprika, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or orange juice if desired.
Step 9
Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 10
Serve chilled with your favorite crackers, fresh veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Enjoy!
