Looking for a dip that’s creamy, bright, and packed with flavor? This Roasted Red Pepper White Bean Dip is a total game changer. It is kind of like meshing two of the best dips into one for a smooth, smoky, subtly sweet dip that is ideal for any situation.

Roasted Red Pepper White Bean Dip Ingredients

This vibrant dip comes together in 5 minutes with a few ingredients you likely already have:

  • White beans: Creamy and mild in flavor, these provide the perfect base. I went with white Northern beans, but you could use whatever you have on hand, like navy beans, cannellini or even chickpeas.
  • Roasted red peppers: For sweetness, smokiness, and color. If you want to roast your own red pepers check out my how to here.
  • Tahini or olive oil: Adds richness and helps create a smooth texture.
  • Garlic + lemon juice: Bright, sharp, and essential.
  • Nutritional yeast: Brings depth and a subtle cheesy note.
  • Smoked paprika + dried parsley: Boosts the flavor with warmth and a hint of herbaceousness.
  • Balsamic vinegar + maple syrup: Balances acidity and sweetness.

What White Beans Should I Use?

This white bean dip recipe works with a few different varieties. Cannellini beans are my top choice; they’re soft, buttery, and blend beautifully. Navy beans or great northern beans also work well. Just make sure they’re fully cooked and drained before blending. If you’re using home-cooked beans, aim for a soft, tender texture for the creamiest result. And always taste your dip at the end to adjust the seasoning—it should be balanced and bold.

How to Make Roasted Red Pepper White Bean Dip

Making this roasted red pepper dip couldn’t be simpler:

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust salt, lemon, or vinegar to suit your flavor preferences. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately—or chill for later. If you want to roast your own red peppers, it’s a great idea, and you can follow my how to here. If you’re using store bought roasted red peppers, you’ll be saving a bunch of time and can make this dip last minute! 

The Secret to the Best Roasted Red Peppers
