Ingredients

• 3 whole red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid to let the peppers steam for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the skin.

Step 5

Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and remove the stems and seeds.

Step 6

In a food processor, add the roasted red peppers, olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of bread, crackers, or vegetables. The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
