White Bean Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Ingredients

• 10 oz roasted red peppers (drained and some liquid reserved*)
• 1 cup cooked white beans (drained)
• 1 large head garlic bulb
• 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F/200C. Cut the top off a head of garlic and drizzle with 1 tablespoon or 15ml of olive oil. Wrap it with aluminum foil and bake for 35 to 45 minutes until it turns golden brown and fragrant.

2. 2

   In a blender or food processor, add the beans with 3 tablespoons or 45ml reserved liquid from the peppers (or water). Blend until mostly smooth puree. Scrape the sides as needed.

3. 3

   Add the olive oil and lemon juice and blend on high until smooth. Add the following seasoning, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend on high to combine everything together.

4. 4

   Add in the roasted peppers. Pulse until just combined. Squeeze in the roasted garlic. Pulse a couple of times until the cloves are just broken up and chunky but not smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, and serve right away with your favorite dippers. 🙂
