Roasted Red Pepper Dip Recipe

More party food! Dips go a LONG way with parties. They're easily one of the most popular offerings at any gathering because they're usually easy to make and your friends can chow down like finger food by spreading it over crackers or pretzels or whatever yummy vessel you feel fits your chosen dip.

This particular dip is easy, too. Good thing! We're talking Roasted Red Pepper Dip, my friends, and you're going to love it. We were down at the local farmers market perusing all the wonderful fruits and vegetables and I couldn't help myself but load up several bags of goodies.

They were practically leaping into our arms - fresh garlic, TONS of chili peppers, juicy tomatoes - oh yes! So much of it went into this wonderful dip that you flatly MUST sop up with bread.

• Tomatoes
• Garlic
• Olive oil
• Honey
• Salt
• Torn bread - for serving

How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Dip

This easy recipe comes together with just about 15 minutes of prep work. It's so easy to whip up right before the party starts!

Roast the veggies. Slice the peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and place on a baking sheet skin sides up. Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise as well, then also place them on the same baking sheet skin side up. Roast at 425°F for 30 minutes.

Get rid of the skins. After baking, remove the charred skins from the peppers and tomatoes. Discard the skins and set the tomatoes and peppers in a food processor.

Cook the garlic. This is great to do while the other veggies are roasting! Add garlic and olive oil to a pot over low heat. Cook for 15 minutes or so until garlic becomes nice and tender.

Blend and enjoy! Toss the cooled garlic into the food processor. Blend until you reach your desired consistency. Add the honey and salt, mix well, and serve. It's that easy!

Recipe Tips & Notes

• Turn up the heat! If you're looking for some heat, you can easily include other chili peppers here. Red jalapenos, serranos, thai peppers, even some ghost peppers would be quite welcomed here. I picked up a few pounds of these long red cayennes and they added a bit of heat for us, and plenty of flavor.
• Blend to your desired consistency. You can process it as much as you'd like, but I feel it works best left slightly chunky, more like the consistency of crushed tomatoes.
• Don't be too heavy handed with the honey. You WANT a bit of sweetness here. Not too much. Just a touch. We found that 1 TBSP is enough for us, but you might want 2. I don't recommend adding any more than that.

Storage

This roasted red pepper spread will stay fresh when kept in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
