Ingredients

• 2 large red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 medium garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 3

Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise, removing and discarding the seeds and membranes.

Step 4

Place the peppers cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.

Step 6

While the peppers are roasting, peel the garlic cloves.

Step 7

Once the peppers are done roasting, remove them from the oven and place them in a bowl.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel off the skins.

Step 9

Peel off the charred skins from the cooled peppers and discard them.

Step 10

In a food processor, combine the peeled roasted peppers, olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water.

Step 11

Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if desired.

Step 13

Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 14

Serve with sliced vegetables, whole grain crackers, or pita bread.
