ROASTED VEGETABLE SPREAD

Ingredients:
1 red bell pepper, sliced into rings
1 med. onion, sliced into rings
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 sm. zucchini, sliced
1 T. olive oil
8 oz. cream cheese
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Challah, foccacia, pita chips or vegetable strips for serving

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the bell pepper, onion, garlic, zucchini and olive oil onto jelly roll pan (may want to line with foil). Toss until vegetables are evenly coated. Place in oven and roast, turning occasionally, until they are soft and beginning to turn brown around the edges, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.

Place vegetables into the bowl of a food processor along with the cream cheese and process until well combined and spreadable; do not process until completely smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve with bread or pita chips and vegetable strips. Also makes a good sandwich spread. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
