This roasted red pepper dip is pepped up with the addition of a whole head of sweetly savoury roast garlic and paired with a smooth, creamy guacamole. They are perfect companions for some chip dip action!

Roasted Red Pepper Dip Tips

Both dips are really easy to make and are packed with flavour. The Roasted Pepper Dip uses jarred red peppers making it a cinch to run up if you’re in a hurry – if you’re not, feel free to roast them yourself in a hot oven until they’re charred, pop them in a covered bowl and peel the skin off when they are cold. 

Don’t be put off at the thought of a whole bulb of garlic here, it really works and is utterly delicious! Roasting the garlic makes it much sweeter and gentler. You won’t be breathing fire, I promise!

Two Vegan Dips in Emma Bridgewater Bowls.

My lot are always starving when they get in from school/work/clubs and bowls of chips and vegetable sticks with a delicious dip or two make a fab treat to tide them over. It also keeps them in the kitchen long enough for them to tell me about their day and to offload any stuff they need to talk about.

I like the contrasting colours when I place both dips in the same bowl but feel free to serve them separately if that is your wont!

I haven’t added any salt as I think they are flavourful enough without and, as I was partnering them with pita chips, I didn’t feel they needed any. Taste and add some if you like!
