Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Cut the red bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the skin is blistered and charred.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Spread

    Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel off the skin and transfer the peppers to a food processor. Add the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, stir in chopped cilantro or parsley.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Cut the pita bread into triangles and serve with the roasted pepper spread. Enjoy!
