One of my favourite flavours of summer is roasted red pepper. The charred and sweet flavour just reminds me of a good summer BBQ! In this dip, I used smoked paprika to enhance the charred notes, and balsamic vinegar for tang, and to bring out the natural sweetness of the red pepper. I'm happy to announce that I was able to bring you this recipe in partnership with Oh My Yummies and Vista Magazine Canada! Oh My Yummies is a Canadian brand offering gluten free and vegan Superfood crackers. Their Rosemary Superfood Crackers have a light crunch and an earthy herbaceous flavour that was the perfect pairing for my dip! I'm super picky with crackers because so many have ingredients like sunflower oil and too much added sugar. Oh My Yummies are made with ingredients like quinoa, flax seeds, and chia seeds, which is more than what I'm looking for. You should totally give them a try!
This recipe is vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free.

Remember

You can use a fresh roasted red pepper or one from a jar. I always have the jarred ones on hand, but if you have leftover roasted red pepper from a BBQ you should use that instead!
I decorated my dip with some extra virgin olive oil and hemp hearts
