5 from 21 votes

Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Sauce

This sauce combines roasted red peppers with tahini, garlic, and lemon juice to create a creamy, smoky condiment. The tahini provides a rich, nutty base balanced by the sweetness and slight tang of roasted red peppers. The garlic adds depth, while the lemon juice brightens the flavors. The sauce is versatile for drizzling over roasted vegetables, salads, or as a dip. Adjusting the amount of red pepper lets you control the intensity of its flavor, and the texture can be thinned with a bit more water if desired.
