I tend to go light with the honey here and I start with just 1 Tbsp. and adjust from there if I want more. Though usually I don’t. This dip is one that you can serve cold OR heat it up for a while in the oven or microwave for a more melty gooey dip.
This Red Pepper Paprika Dip isn’t just great for dipping and dunking, it would also be great to spread on a sandwich to add a layer of sweet and smoky goodness.
Red Pepper Paprika Dip
Ingredients
- 4 Red Bell Peppers
- 1 Head of Garlic
- 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 6 Oz. Reduced Fat Feta (Or fat free.)
- 8 Oz. Reduced Fat 'Neufchatel' Cream Cheese
- 2 Tbsp. Honey
- 1/2 Tsp. Paprika
- Pepper
- Crushed Red Chili Flakes
- Fresh Parsley, Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or a silicone baking mat. Chop the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Set the 4 Red Bell Peppers and the 1 Head of Garlic onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil and place in the oven to bake for 30-45 minutes, turning the peppers on occasion.
- Once done, remove from the oven and immediately transfer the peppers to a bowl and over with plastic wrap. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
- Squeeze the garlic cloves from the head to discard the skin; this should be easy to do just by squeezing the bottom of the bulb.
- Remove the skins from the peppers and place them into a blender, food processor, or the cup of an immersion blender along with the garlic, 6 Oz. Reduced Fat Feta, 8 Oz. Reduced Fat 'Neufchatel' Cream Cheese, 2 Tbsp. Honey, 1/2 Tsp. Paprika, and Pepper, and Crushed Red Chili Flakes to taste. Blend/puree until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a serving dish and top with Fresh Parsley and any more olive oil or spices as desired.
- Enjoy right away with some warm naan or pita crisps or cover and store in the fridge to chill until ready to eat!
