Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the peppers and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until the peppers are blistered and softened.
Transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover for 10 minutes. Peel away the skins, remove the stems and seeds, and discard.
Add the roasted peppers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Spoon the spread into a clean Le Parfait Super Terrine. Refrigerate until chilled before serving.
