What is In Feta Roasted Red Pepper Dip?

Ingredients for Feta Roasted Red Pepper Dip.

How to Thicken Roasted Red Pepper Dip?

Roasted Red Pepper Dip needs some sort of thickening ingredient, like cheese, pine nuts, etc., to change it from just pureed vegetables to a thickened dip.

Ingredients

Red Bell Pepper – Instead of buying roasted red bell pepper in a jar, I opted for fresh bell peppers in this recipe. Roasting them first and then adding the cheeses to the roasting dish gives the dip such an amazing flavor.

Oregano – Use fresh oregano leaves if at all possible for the best flavor. If you must use dried oregano, remember to use less because dried herbs are more pungent than fresh herbs.

Garlic – Adding garlic to the red pepper as it roasts enhances the flavor magnificently! You can mince it yourself or use bottled minced garlic.

Red Pepper Flakes – These are optional, but the tiny bit of spice they add really pairs well with the red bell pepper flavor and gives the dip just a little kick without making it spicy.

Olive Oil – For the flavor, choose the best quality extra virgin olive oil available to you.

Cream Cheese – This mild and smooth cheese helps make the dip super creamy.

Feta Cheese – This is the star of the show in this dip recipe! Buy a block of feta rather than feta crumbles so that it melts and blends well. Likewise, choose full-fat feta because reduced-fat feta is much drier and doesn’t blend as well with the other ingredients for the dip.

For Serving – Crackers, Pita Chips, or Crudité

How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Red pepper mix ready for the oven in an oval dish.

First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a shallow baking dish, combine the diced bell pepper, minced garlic, chopped fresh oregano, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Stir to make sure everything is well coated in the olive oil.

Take the peppers out of the oven and carefully nestle the chunks of feta and cream cheese into the mixture. Drizzle the cheese with the remaining olive oil and roast for another 15 minutes or until the cheeses are very soft.

Carefully transfer the mixture to a small food processor or blender and process until smooth and creamy.

You can serve the dip warm or chilled. It tastes amazing with crackers, pita chips, and your favorite crudité. The only bad thing about this dip is how fast it will disappear!
