Roasted Butternut Squash Dip Recipe

November 15, 2013

'Tis the season for all things squash! I just love fall and all of the seasonal flavors, and this time of year I cannot get enough butternut squash; it's one of my favorite vegetables because of it's versatility. I love it roasted all on its own as an easy side for supper but lately I've been pureeing it up with a couple of other ingredients to make it into this tasty Roasted Butternut Squash Dip. I love how seasonally appropriate the flavors are but also how unexpected it is when placed alongside other traditional dips in a party spread! The ingredients are simple: butternut squash, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and a dash of milk or cream. You can even thin it out with some chicken stock and add in a few chopped sprigs of thyme to turn this into a tasty soup or use it as a sandwich spread on a leftover Thanksgiving turkey sammie. The possibilities are endless with this one. Bookmark this recipe. you'll thank me later!
