Dips are easily my favorite when it comes to snacks. They’re just so addictive! Whether you want savory, sweet, or something in the middle, there’s a dip for every craving! I recommend trying my crack chicken, whipped feta, and loaded creamy ranch dips. They’re all so tasty and easy to throw together!

All Ingredients Needed

All you need is cream cheese, a jar of red peppers, and a handful of spices to make this flavorful dip! This has been a pretty frequent snack at our house because I almost always have everything needed to make it!

  • Roasted Red Peppers: The star of the show! Roasted red peppers have the best flavor. They’re sweet and smoky with a hint of spice!
  • Cream Cheese: Cream cheese makes the dip nice and smooth. It also adds a tangy flavor.
  • Garlic Cloves: No savory dip is complete without a little (or a lot of) garlic!
  • Fresh Basil Leaves: Basil is blended with the other ingredients. It adds nice, minty aromatics!
  • Olive Oil: Adds flavor, moisture, and keeps the consistency of the dip perfectly smooth.
  • Smoked Paprika: Warm and smoky, this spice is a must-add!
  • Salt: You only need a little to enhance the overall flavor of this roasted red pepper dip.
  • Black Pepper: Helps make the flavor of the dip more complex.
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes: Red pepper flakes give this dip the perfect hint of spice. Add more to taste if you like it spicy!

What to Serve With Roasted Red Pepper Dip

The flavors of this bright and savory dip go well with just about any dippable! Carrots and celery are always a good pairing- the cool flavor of the veggies and the warm spice of the dip is a great combo. Tortilla chips are a must, and you can make these fresh in the air fryer if you have one! Potato chips, pita chips, crackers, and crostini are all great options, too. I love serving roasted red pepper dip with a mix of all of these so my guests get to choose their favorite!

Storing Leftovers

Aren’t homemade dips and salsas the best to have as leftovers? I can’t help but grab a chip and have a little taste each time I pass the fridge.

  • In the Refrigerator: Stored in an airtight container, your roasted red pepper dip will last for up to 4 days.
