Spicy Roasted Red Pepper And Feta Dip Recipe (Htipiti)

This quick and easy Greek dip is a delicious snack or appetizer when served with crunchy vegetables and/or warm gluten-free pita bread. It is also wonderful as a spread on sandwiches or over roasted potatoes for a decadent treat.

Although it is very easy to roast your own red peppers, you can save some time by using the jarred variety instead.

Kitchen Notes: Feta is easier to process at room temperature, so remove it from the refrigerator when the peppers go into the oven.

To remove the blackened skin from the roasted peppers, some suggest placing the peppers into a plastic freezer bag. However, some plastic bags can melt from the high temperature.

Instead, try placing the hot peppers right out of the oven in a heat-safe bowl, then cover it tightly with foil or a plate to seal in the steam.
