Creamy Butternut and Peanut Butter Dip

This Creamy Butternut and Peanut butter dip is rich and silky with a great caramelized flavor from coconut sugar and sesame oil. It’s super healthy with all-natural plant-based ingredients that are readily available, and it only takes a total of about 40 minutes to prepare the best veggie dip you can make. I baked the butternut to dehydrate it, so the dip doesn’t get mushy and to give it a caramelized and slightly charred flavor.

This simple recipe only calls for butternut, peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon, roasted sesame oil, and green apple, making it very healthy for snacking or drizzling over your salads as an accompaniment for your appetizers or sides. When choosing peanut butter, select natural peanut butter that does not have added sugars or oils; otherwise, your butternut dip will end up being too oily and too sweet.

The roasted sesame oil and peanut butter add just the right amount of oil needed, and the green apple, coconut sugar, and butternut add a perfect sweetness balanced by the tang of vinegar and lemon juice. How creamy your Creamy Butternut and Peanut Butter Dip is depended on how smoothly you blend all your ingredients. If you want to have some chunks in there, don’t blend it entirely, but if you are like me and prefer it extra creamy, mix until you get a smooth paste. Enjoy!
