This easy roasted red pepper eggplant dip is smoky, sweet, savory, garlicky, and just a little spicy. Made with oven-roasted red peppers, eggplant, garlic, onion, and ginger, it comes together with a handful of pantry staples for an incredibly flavorful dip that’s perfect with pita, crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 Red Peppers (roughly chopped)
- 2 Eggplants (roughly chopped)
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1/2 inch piece of ginger

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes {less or more according to taste}
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Rinse the eggplant and red pepper well. Then roughly chop them up. These don't have to be chopped well, as they will be blended later.

- Generously sprinkle the red pepper, eggplant, garlic, onions, ginger with the olive oil and bake for 40 minutes
- Remove from oven and place in a food processor along with the honey, sambal oelek, vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes
- Give it a good pulse till everything is blended
