Ingredients

  • 1 Fresh From Florida Red Pepper
  • 4 cloves peeled garlic
  • Half small yellow onion - peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened (I used light cream cheese)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 shredded sharp cheddar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put the garlic cloves and onion into a small bowl and mix with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons, add more if you need it, you want it well coated) and salt and pepper.
  • Foil line baking sheet and place the garlic and onions on it.
  • Toss it in oven at 375 for 30 min. The garlic and onion will be a little brown and soft.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Cut the peppers in half and remove the stems, seeds and membranes.
  • Lay the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side down.
  • Roast the red peppers for 15-20 minutes or until the skins are very dark and the peppers have collapsed.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven.
  • Allow the peppers cool for a few minutes until they are cool enough for you to handle, then peel the skins off and discard them.
  • You may have to place your peppers on a piece of paper towel to dry them off, I did.
  • Place garlic, onion, red bell pepper and next 4 ingredients in processor and blend well.
  • Place all ingredients (roasted pepper, onion, garlic, cream cheese, cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes) in your food processor or blender.
  • Blend together until smooth.
  • Transfer dip to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
  • Serve with Fresh From Florida Bell Peppers, Squash and other delicious vegetables.
  • Enjoy!
