Servings: 4 cups
Equipment
- 1 Food processor
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned black beans rinsed and drained, about 16 oz
- 3 medium bell peppers red, yellow or orange
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 limes
- ½ cup parsley
- ½ cup cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare the peppers for roasting by cutting off the sides and end from the pepper. Take out all the seeds and white parts. Place the peppers on a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and some kosher salt. Bake in oven for 25 minutes.
- While peppers roast, add the black beans, spices, parsley, cilantro, and olive oil to the food processor. Cut the limes in half and squeeze the fresh lime juice on top of everything.
- When the peppers are done roasting in the oven, carefully add them to the food processor too. It’s fine if they’re still warm from the oven.
- Blend the dip ingredients up on high for about 3-4 minutes total. Pause about every 30 seconds or so to scrape the sides of the bowl down.
- Your dip is ready! Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 4 days before serving.
Notes
Leftovers are good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips:
- After blending the first few times, taste your dip - does it need more salt? Lime juice? Adjust to your taste
- So much of the delicious flavour in this dip comes from those gorgeous roasted red peppers. And since you'll be turning the oven on, why not do a few extras and make this Easy Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Soup (Instant Pot) too?
- Personally I like the consistency of this dip to be between a runny dip and a hummus - not too thick, but not too thin. Make it the consistency you want - for a thinner dip, reduce black beans by ~⅓ cup.
