Preparation of Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the diced potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
Making the Red Pepper Feta Dip
  1. While the potatoes are roasting, blend the roasted red peppers, feta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combining Dip and Chickpeas
  1. Once the dip is blended, gently fold in the drained chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly distributed but still maintain some texture.
Serving
  1. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
  2. Once the potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and serve them alongside the dip. Sprinkle paprika on the dip for an extra flair.

Notes

Substitutions can include cream cheese or plant-based alternatives for feta. Keep an eye on the potatoes while roasting to avoid burning. Avoid over-blending the dip for the best texture.
