Add 2 cans drained, rinsed cannellini beans (white kidney beans, 15 oz), 1 cup drained jarred roasted red peppers, 2 garlic cloves, 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, juiced lemon juice, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt to a food processor or high-speed blender.

Serve immediately with pita wedges, crackers, or sliced vegetables, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Questions

Can I make Roasted Red Pepper White Bean Dip ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Refrigerate it in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.

Can I halve or double Roasted Red Pepper White Bean Dip?

Yes. As written it serves 6. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
