Roasted Red Pepper Dip

This roasted red pepper dip is sure to please your guests, plant-based or not! And, it’s also perfect for an everyday snack for dipping sliced carrots, celery, cauliflower, or broccoli. If you want a burst of flavor and a dip with no-added-fat – then this recipe is for you!

How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Roasted red peppers are blended with heart-healthy walnuts to bring on the zing.

Roasted Red Peppers: You can use store-bought roasted pepper preferably without oil. They’ll need to be soaked. However, if you do use roasted peppers with oil, be sure to rinse them under hot running water to help remove most of the oil.

Toasted Walnuts: You can purchase raw walnuts and toast them yourself or purchase walnuts that are already toasted. Just be sure to check that they are fresh. Oil in nuts can go rancid. I suggest keeping them in the freezer until you need to use them.

Whole Wheat Bread: Two slices of whole-grain bread round out the flavors and are a thickening agent.

Flavorings: The delicious flavors of this recipe come from fresh lemon juice, garlic, cumin, a few red pepper flakes (optional), and a little salt.

Ways to Serve Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Of course, as I mentioned, this dip is perfect for an everyday snack.

I have also served this on special occasions and even my kids like it! If you can make a recipe without added fat that tastes as good as one made with fat, why not. Your waistline will thank you.

In addition to serving this dip with sliced vegetables, another way is to serve this roasted pepper dip for a party with toasted and sliced pita bread.

I’m planning on using this recipe for a Moroccan-themed plant-based dinner party. You can roast your own peppers if you have the time and it will create a very nice fresh, bold flavor but you need to pay attention to your peppers when roasting them.
