Roasted Jalapeño Dip

This was inspired by a recipe I saw in a magazine. The real recipe calls for Jalapeno halves to be stuffed, then grilled, but with some ingredient additions, I thought it was easier to take the dip cold in a bowl to share as a dip.

Ingredients
  • 10 Jalapenos
  • 1 cup diced and seeded tomato
  • 3 green onions sliced thin
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon + cilantro
  • 5 oz goat cheese
  • 4 oz softened light or fat free cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees
  • Cover a baking sheet with foil
  • Cut jalapenos in half and carefully de-seed them
  • Place peppers on baking sheet and roast in oven until sides begin to brown (10-15 minutes) - half way through flip peppers over
  • Once peppers have cooled, dice
  • In a medium sized bowl combine peppers with all other ingredients and refridgerate
  • Serve with tortilla chips or crackers
