Hey there, foodie friends! Hope you're all having a fantastic and prolific week! Although it's a bit late now, I've got a delightful recipe to share with you, one that's close to my 💔 and always a hit with my loved ones.😍 ![IMG_0116.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/23wqu1vuPfmKrzRgcY7ZuB9kSBZe7zp41mhvGDXQRnPbTg8uTGVa2vEHUi3RbvtuGdPHj.jpeg) It's none other than my beloved **Roasted Red Pepper Rolls**. ![IMG_0115.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/23w2uVLR9i1g2EbJsez3vWVE93DbDeMSYrKLkes99gwRuQxjf3Ch7hUw36RVb2TBux7Z5.jpeg) Don't let the fancy appearance fool you; this recipe is incredibly easy to whip up. In fact, I've even taught a similar version to eager learners, including kids, during my volunteer days in London. These three pictures below were taken during that session. ⬇️ [Note: The individuals in the pictures below have consented to their images being shared on social media] ![IMG_9377.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/23wC7m9ZCr7FF4mUpRgk5oo2qc24X6C75entczDwY5c9ee5cM84nmxsYFyYS2xGsHS4wd.jpeg) ![IMG_9378.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/243WTVGkuPcS4DvXLLbLNJXqU1n6xav4upfz8htBExSxARwruXhwwfngPDXL8iivkhzVw.jpeg) ![a366ea00-dba2-4132-a90f-7208da182458.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/23wMYaoKU3TwYKH1YWPqxjFq4q4VxvpW3HagUtqfBZJyEXVNhHqk2GW6PwK6cXB41wEtu.jpeg) Trust me, the joy of rolling, mixing, and baking these goodies is contagious!😂👩‍🍳 ![IMG_0133.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/23x1DP5XaevMeD3oA5zT9YLZhFGZynC4Ci8uDBzVXaHPPi6AQkR5ToJvw3zEyjbV2Bxbd.jpeg) Now, if you're wondering what inspired this recipe, well, I have to credit my dear grandmother for instilling in me a love for roasted bell peppers. She had a knack for incorporating them into almost every dish, and I've followed in her footsteps ever since. Those memories of her freshly cooked veggies straight from the garden still bring a smile to my face. ![IMG_0098.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/EopvPk9RhBypiqfSmJ8FqWYvWndkt65wZxkBKz13kvwGJS5HAoH39p4R6sFmRUc2MPr.jpeg) Originally, this recipe was all about crafting mini rolls using those gorgeous roasted red pointed peppers. However, with Valentine's Day around the corner, I couldn't resist adding a heart-shaped twist, using some heart-shaped moulds I had tucked away in my pantry. ![IMG_0097.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/EouADXhGRZ5Fm2FJZSv9asLqwhAooHF9byoAeFLMkp79LSroFNWsVswzc76F1pupLjD.jpeg) With this batch, I'll be making five rolls instead of the usual eight, but the love poured into each one makes them extra special. Now, let's dive into the recipe, shall we! **Roasted Red Pepper Rolls** ![IMG_0118.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/23xVPHsQVjCHau4dufCStFQurzV12bLQHLgF3EcEdvp5Qr4Dantres36NaccYC7NNtMUF.jpeg) **Ingredients:** 4 pointed red peppers, cleaned, halved, seeds and stem discarded *Filling Ingredients:* 2 parsnips, medium, cleaned, peeled, and chopped (about 200g pulp) 30g roasted walnuts/pecan nuts 4 spring onions, cleaned, chopped (separate the white and green parts) 3 cloves of garlic, minced/grated, (one cloves extra if you make coriander sauce) 1/4 tsp sea salt White pepper and nutmeg to taste Red and green chilli to taste, optional 1 bunch of coriander leaves, chopped (if you want to make coriander sauce) *Topping Ingredients:* 1 tbsp each of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seed, and pine nuts, roasted and minced ![IMG_3239.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/monivis/48TofRwCrtESuw7QKSgcFfiwqCbc7xnhTkcs81XxUVdRc5y5zMvyxFhdK3ME2VfbJr.jpeg) *Serving Suggestions:* Coriander leaves and spring onions sauce (as my today's favourite sauce) Cashew béchamel sauce Plain coconut yogurt Mushroom sauce **Instructions:** Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
