Recipe: Roast Capsicum Dip

This roast capsicum dip was part of my Vegan High Tea and was another bowl of simple, delicious snack food. I also got to try out the grill in my new apartment for the first time, and it’s the first time I’ve had a proper grill for a long time, so that was a nice change!

Ingredients List

  • 4 red capsicums
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2tsp smoked paprika
  • Large pinch chilli flakes (or to taste)
  • 1tbs olive oil
  • Large pinch of salt

  4. Rub off the skins and place the capsicum in a food processor with minced garlic, spices and oil.

As this is a particularly chunky dip I find it goes best with crackers, or pita chips as I used. They are super easy to make at home, just tear pita bread into chunks, spray with a little oil and sprinkle with paprika, then pop in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up. Simple and delicious!
