This Roasted Vegetable Romesco Dip with spicy honey is a bold and flavorful dish made with smoky red peppers, roasted garlic, and eggplant, blended with almonds for a creamy texture. It's the perfect easy dip appetizer for gatherings.
Prepare the red peppers by slicing them in half and removing the seeds and veins. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt on both sides.
Cut the eggplant into small cubes and place them on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt, and toss to coat.
Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap in foil. Place on one of the baking sheets.
Place the half tomato on one of the baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt.
Roast all the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Let them cool. For the peppers, place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Let them sit for at least 20 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel off and discard the skins.

Plating
