Made with roasted red pepper, goat cheese and garlic, this no bake roasted red pepper and goat cheese dip comes together in minutes. It’s delicious with fresh veggies or thick cut potato chips; or use it on chicken or tossed with pasta.
This five ingredient dip is super easy thanks to roasted red peppers from the store and a food processor. I use my mini food processor to give me (at least the appearance of) a little less to wash.
We’re skipping the cream cheese and sour cream in favor of goat cheese, which keeps the roasted red pepper dip creamy while adding in more flavor. Lemon juice add brightness, and while you can use bottled lemon juice here, squeezing a fresh lemon will make your dip even better.
This super versatile roasted red pepper and goat cheese dip can be made hours before you need it or a few days in advance, so it’s both a great last-minute snack and make ahead appetizer – whichever you need it to be!
Ingredients
- Goat cheese – Choose your favorite brand, just make sure it’s plain goat cheese (not honey, herbed, etc.) You can use either a log of goat cheese or crumbles. Do not substitute another cheese here. There’s only 5 ingredients in the recipe, so it’s goat cheese or find another dip recipe.
- Roasted red peppers – Roast your own red bell peppers (you’ll need 2 of them) or buy them already roasted in a jar at the store. It’s up to you! (I always buy them.)
- Olive oil – Use your favorite brand of olive oil in this recipe.
- Lemon juice – Fresh lemon juice will always make recipes taste their best. You only need about a quarter of a lemon for this recipe.
- Salt – There is a suggested amount in the recipe, but always salt to taste!
How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Place everything in a food processor and puree until ingredients are combined and dip is smooth.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve.
Enjoy with homemade potato chips, fresh veggies, or my Chili Rubbed Chicken Wings.

Tips on Roasted Red Pepper Dip
If you want to roast your own peppers for the dip, you’ll need 2 red bell peppers for the recipe. Increase the olive oil in the recipe to 1 tablespoon, and make sure your homemade roasted red peppers are super soft and cooked through before using. You don’t want any crispiness left in the vegetables.
Use it as a dip for pita chips, root chips, potato chips, or fresh veggies. Toss it with hot pasta for an easy sauce. Or my favorite way – dip my Chili Rubbed Chicken Wings in it!
As a dip, it’s meant to be served cold and the texture is the best when chilled. Heating the dip will melt the cheese and give it a much thinner consistency. I only like to do this when tossing it with pasta.
Happy Hour Drink Pairings
A rich and flavorful dip pairs best with a crisp, refreshing drink. Try my tart apple cider sangria, a classic bee’s knees cocktail, refreshing basil gimlet, or make a batch of non-alcoholic pomegranate lemonade.
Happy Hour Food Pairings
Looking for easy appetizer recipes to serve with your dip or add to your happy hour menu? My baked potato chips and dry-rubbed oven baked chicken wings go perfectly with this roasted red pepper dip. Add in my easy whipped ricotta dip with honey and vegetarian stuffed mushrooms for a balanced appetizer spread at your next party.
You already had me at roasted red pepper! This dip was super easy to prepare and soooo good! Can only highly recommend it
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it!!
Delicious Super Bowl party snack. We’ve been thinking about trying it as a sandwich or burger spread next. Excited to make it again!
It would be delicious on burgers and sandwiches. I love using leftover dip with chicken or tossed with hot pasta.
