Instructions
- Slice peppers into quarters lengthwise, lay in single layer skin-side up on baking tray. Brush with ½ Tablespoon olive oil. Broil 2-5 min until skins start to wrinkle and brown. Let cool 5 min.
- Place bread and walnuts in food processor and process until fine.

Notes
- To make this a light lunch or grazing board, I add feta or grilled halloumi chunks and whole wheat pita wedges in addition to veggies when serving.
- This also makes a great spread for sandwiches.
- To make this recipe even quicker, use jarred roasted red bell peppers instead of making them. Make sure to check ingredients.
