Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash (about 4 pounds), halved and seeded (or pumpkin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1¼ teaspoons salt, divided
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 2 tablespoons raw pepitas, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Cut squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Drizzle olive oil and ¼ teaspoon salt over cut side of squash halves. Place squash, cut side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover squash loosely with aluminum foil, and bake for 1 hour. Once cooked, remove foil and let squash cool slightly.
- Scoop flesh from cooked squash halves into a food processor. Add garlic, tahini, yogurt, vinegar, paprika, allspice and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; blend until creamy. Pause to push sides down if necessary. Scoop dip into a serving bowl, and chill for 1 hour or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish dip with a dash of paprika and pepitas. Serve with dippers, such as veggies and crackers.
