Soooo good! I just made this sauce to have with dinner tonight, but I can’t seem to stop eating it with a spoon out of the food processor! 🤪 (please don’t judge, it’s just that good!)

How to make dairy-free roasted red pepper sauce

This roasted pepper sauce is a breeze to make. In fact, you literally only need 5-minutes. Here’s how:

Add the drained roasted red peppers, garlic, avocado and pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor.
Process until it reaches a creamy consistency, scraping down the edges if needed.

That’s it! About as easy as it gets right?

You can serve it up right away or chill it in the fridge for serving later.
