Preparation Steps

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.

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

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.
