Roasted Butternut Squash Hummus is my new favourite dip! This recipe is creamy, nourishing and loaded with flavour. I love cooking with squashes this time of the year because they are very affordable at the grocery store and give a regular recipe some seasonal flare!
With the holidays coming up, this recipe makes the perfect dip to pair with vegetables and crackers. It can easily be brought to a gathering and enjoyed by all as it is dairy-free and gluten-free.
To make this recipe, I basically took a regular hummus recipe and added roasted butternut squash! And to give it even MORE nutrients, I added Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seeds to the recipe. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I love added these hemp seeds to anything I can.
