Ingredients

• Roasted red peppers - 200 grams
• Feta cheese - 100 grams

• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. If using fresh red peppers, place them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the skin is charred and blistered. If using jarred roasted red peppers, skip to the next step.
3. Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Peel off the skin and remove the seeds if necessary.
4. In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
5. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
7. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
8. Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks or low-carb crackers, or refrigerate for later use.
