Homemade Vegan Capsicum Dip & Gluten Free Crackers

Capsicum Dip (Gluten-Free and Vegan)

Ingredients:

• 2 capsicums
• 1/2 eggplant
• 2 garlic cloves
• Drizzle of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Wash and chop the capsicums and eggplant into large chunks. Place them on a lined baking tray along with the unpeeled garlic cloves.
2. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and slightly charred.
3. Once done, transfer the roasted vegetables to a bowl and cover with cling film (glad wrap) to let them sweat. This will make it easier to peel off the skins.
4. Peel the skins off the capsicums, eggplant, and garlic. Place the peeled vegetables in a food processor.
5. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and blend until smooth.
6. Let the dip cool before serving.
