Whipped Feta with Peppers Recipe
Start the preparation of the whipped feta with peppers by preheating the air fryer to 392°F for 5 minutes.
Wash and dry the peppers and place them in the air fryer basket.
Cook the peppers for 15-20 minutes depending on their size.
Transfer them to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them cool.
Alternatively, you can cook them on the stove on a grill pan for about ten minutes on each side.
Once cooled, peel the peppers and remove the top part with the seeds.
Transfer the peppers to the blender.
Add a block of feta.
Also add the milk, extra virgin olive oil, and spices to the blender: you can use smoked paprika or my homemade barbecue rub.
Blend until a smooth and soft cream is obtained, taste and, if necessary, adjust the salt.
Transfer the whipped feta with peppers to a bowl and finish with a bit more extra virgin olive oil.
Garnish as desired with chopped roasted pepper.
