- Yield Makes 4 cups
Serves 16
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, halved and seeds scooped
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Coarse salt
- 1 large head garlic, halved crosswise
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Cayenne, to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle cut sides of squash with oil and season with salt. Arrange cut side down on a baking sheet. Arrange garlic head halves in the center of parchment-lined foil. Drizzle with oil, sandwich, and wrap tightly. Transfer to baking sheet with squash and roast until squash and garlic are tender, about 45 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, scoop squash flesh and squeeze each clove of roasted garlic. Transfer to a food processor with oil, lemon juice, tahini, and turmeric and process until smooth. Season with salt and cayenne. Store dip in an airtight container up to five days.
