Ingredients

• 4 whole red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash the red bell peppers and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roast the peppers in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and the peppers are softened.

Step 4

Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel to trap steam and let the peppers cool for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once cooled, peel off the charred skin from the peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Discard the skin, stems, and seeds.

Step 6

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves (either whole or roughly chopped) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 7

In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled roasted peppers, sautéed garlic, sweet smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, parsley, and water.

Step 8

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, vinegar, or water for consistency if desired.

Step 9

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
