Ingredients

• 3 large red bell peppers
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup almonds
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered.

Step 3

Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skins easier.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, remove the seeds and stems, and discard them.

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the peeled peppers, toasted almonds, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 8

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want to add more lemon juice for acidity or more salt to enhance the flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve with your choice of crackers, vegetable sticks, or pita bread slices. Enjoy!
