I am OBSESSED with this paprika feta dip – and I think you will be too! It’s such a delicious spread with both sweet and salty flavours that complement each other perfectly.

Whenever I’ve got a jar of roasted capsicums in my pantry it seems like a no-brainer to whip up a batch of vibrant, roasted paprika dip. It’s chunky in texture, slightly smoky, and a gorgeous shade of orange! I mean, it’s so versatile you can even use the leftovers as a pasta sauce!

The whole recipe is only 8 ingredients and so easy to make. It’s perfect for a dinner party and you can serve it as a dip, alongside crusty bread, crackers or as crostini.

Ingredients you’ll need:

All you need to make this paprika dip recipe are 8 simple ingredients:

  • Feta cheese: I love using sheep’s or goat’s feta!
  • Roasted red peppers: you can use either jarred or fresh. See my tips in the next section.
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Unsweetened greek yogurt: full fat or low fat both work.
  • Paprika: Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavour or sweet paprika for a more mild tasting dip.  
  • Garlic: just one clove is needed, but feel free to add more if you’re a garlic lover like me!
  • Fresh lemon juice: from about half of a lemon.
  • Chili flakes: the perfect complimentary spice.

Should you use jarred or freshly roasted red peppers?

Honestly, you can use either for this recipe. Freshly roasted red peppers will have a stronger smoky flavour, but jars of roasted red peppers work equally well and can save you time.

As for how many roasted red peppers to add – well that’s entirely up to you. I like to add about one cup (or 8oz), but you could add less for a more mild flavour.

How To Make Paprika Feta Dip

All you need to do is toss everything into a food processor and blend until it’s *almost* smooth. Super easy!

Pro tip: if you don’t have a food processor, a high powered blender will work just fine. Just make sure to scrape down the sides down as you blend

  1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor or a vitamix.
  2. Process until the mixture is orange, slightly chunky, and you no longer see any big chunks of feta. Don’t overdo it; small bits of feta are good and over-processing this dip will make it gritty. If using a vitamix, blend on a low speed (I find speed 3 works best) .Taste, and add additional chili (up to ¼ teaspoon more) if you want it to be extra spicy. Blend briefly to combine.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Top with extra crumbled feta cheese, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for later.

How To Roast Bell Peppers (Capsicums)

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F/ 200C (fan forced).
  2. Brush the bell peppers (capsicums) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and place on a tray lined with baking paper. Roast the peppers for about 40 minutes, turning them over once or twice.
  3. Remove from the oven and place the capsicums in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap for a few minutes. This traps the steam from the roasted peppers, making them easy to peel. 
  4. When cool enough to handle, simply peel the peppers, remove the seeds and slice the peppers into small strips.

Serving Suggestions 

As I mentioned at the beginning, this dip is a magical ingredient that can be used numerous ways. Here’s a few ideas to get you started.

  • Dip it with raw chopped veggies, cracker or crusty bread
  • Schmear it onto a plate and pile on veggies and meats, just as shredded chicken or pulled pork
  • Spread it as a layer in a wrap or sandwich.
  • Dollop it onto a buddha bowl filled with roasted vegetables or fresh crisp salad.
  • Stir it through a bowl of pasta or use as a pasta sauce!
