Kumpir with Roasted Peppers

Kumpir with Roasted Peppers is a delightful Turkish street food that features a fluffy baked potato stuffed with vibrant roasted peppers and an array of delicious toppings. This vegan dish is not only hearty but also bursting with flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

• large potatoes - 2
• red bell pepper - 1
• yellow bell pepper - 1
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• salt - to taste
• black pepper - to taste
• fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• vegan yogurt - 4 tablespoons
• lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash and dry the potatoes, then prick them several times with a fork.
3. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
4. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the roasted peppers. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers in half and remove the seeds.
5. Place the peppers cut-side down on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
6. Roast the peppers in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
7. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin of the peppers and slice them into strips.
8. In a small bowl, mix the vegan yogurt with lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt to create a sauce.
9. Once the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the oven and unwrap the foil.
10. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
11. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the potatoes, then top with roasted pepper strips, the yogurt sauce, and chopped parsley.
12. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Kumpir with Roasted Peppers!
