Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place red bell peppers cut-side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the skin blackens.

Step 4

Remove peppers from the oven and transfer with tongs to a sealable container or bowl. Cover and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Once cool enough to handle, peel the blackened skins from the peppers and place into a blender or food processor. Discard the skins.

Step 6

To the blender, add the avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth, adding more olive oil or seasoning as desired.

Step 7

Serve either chilled or heated up.

Step 8

Enjoy!
