Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Red Bell Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the skins are blistered and charred.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the peppers are roasting, peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    Once the red bell peppers are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. After cooling, transfer the roasted peppers to a blender or food processor. Add the feta cheese, chopped garlic, olive oil, hot pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the kopanisti and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more hot pepper flakes for heat or more salt to enhance the flavor.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the kopanisti to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top, and serve with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
