Ingredients

• 3 large Red bell peppers
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 large Lemon
• 60 grams Tahini
• 45 milliliters Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Roast the bell peppers in the oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 4

While the peppers are roasting, peel and coarsely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Juice the lemon and set aside the juice.

Step 6

Once roasted, remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap to let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling easier.

Step 7

Peel the skin from the peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Discard the skin, stems, and seeds.

Step 8

In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, chopped garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 9

Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
