Butternut Squash Hummus Dip is a creamy and flavorful dip made with roasted butternut squash and chickpeas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Water, as needed for consistency

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
