As mentioned, you can buy red peppers already roasted for you . Or, you can roast them yourself. I just provided you with instructions on how to roast them yourself.
I also mentioned a couple of options for this recipe.You can add some low fat cream cheese and some Greek Yogurt (1 cup total or as needed) to make this dip a spreadable white dip.
Pomegranate Molasses is traditionally added to this recipe in order to thicken it up and add a bit of sweetness. Alternatively, you can use regular molasses (not necessarily blackstrap) or even try adding honey.
