Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 red peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup vegan parmesan
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chilli flakes to taste optional
  • Juice of a lemon optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°c

  2. Slice the peppers in half and place them skin-side up on a baking tray. Cook on the top shelf for 10 minutes, add the whole cloves of garlic to the tray and cook for a further 15 minutes.
  3. Set aside until they’re cool enough to handle, then peel the garlic cloves and add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and mix until smooth.
  4. Add the juice of lemon if you wish to store your batch for longer than a few days, or simply serve if it’s going to be used straight away.

Serve and enjoy!
