Spicy Red Pepper & Feta Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Roast the Peppers

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes until the skin is blistered and the peppers are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Garlic and Pine Nuts

   While the peppers are roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Blend the Ingredients

   Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, feta cheese, toasted pine nuts with garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Garnish and Serve

   Transfer the spicy red pepper and feta mixture to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with bread, crackers, or vegetables.
