Roasted Jalapeno Popper Dip
Jalapeno poppers are a wonderful thing. They are one of my favorite party foods. I make them whenever there is a significant sporting event. I will even look for reasons to make jalapeno poppers. It doesn’t even have to be a big game on the tube – any mildly significant event is reason enough to make a batch of ‘poppers’.

Today we are going to take everything that is great about the jalapeno popper and turn it into a dip! Yes, I know, this is very exciting. I roasted the jalapeno peppers before mixing them with the rest of the ingredients. It is similar to how you can roast red peppers in the oven. The instructions for how to roast jalapeno peppers in the oven can be found here. The jalapeno peppers come out of the oven with a wonderful sweet heat and there is no worry about them being raw and crispy in this dip.
This dip is creamy and delicious. It is great served with crackers or tortilla chips. It is also amazing with fresh cut veggies like peppers, celery, carrots and more!
