Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 bag corn tortilla chips or certified GF crackers for serving
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you prefer a warm dip, or prepare your serving platter for a chilled version. Ensure your baking dish or serving platter is ready.
- 2
In a food processor, combine the drained and chopped roasted red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse paste, about 15-20 pulses.
- 3
Add the finely chopped fresh parsley to the food processor and pulse a few more times to incorporate it evenly. Taste the Htipiti and adjust the salt and pepper as needed to achieve your desired flavor profile.
- 4
If serving warm, transfer the Htipiti to a small oven-safe dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until it's heated through and slightly bubbly around the edges. If serving chilled, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 5
Serve the Htipiti immediately with a side of crispy corn tortilla chips, certified gluten-free crackers, or an assortment of fresh, crisp vegetables for dipping. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of extra parsley if desired.

Tips & Notes
- Use a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil here — the flavor comes through in simple recipes.
- Buy a block of feta and crumble it yourself — pre-crumbled feta contains anti-caking agents and is often drier.
- Roasted garlic (400°F, 30–40 min in foil) gives a sweet, mellow flavor ideal for soups and sauces.
