Introduction
An incredibly easy, really healthy dip! Just roast the squash and toss it all in the processor!The consistency of the squash once roasted is smooth enough that lots of oil isn't necessary to hold the chickpeas together.
Also great as a sandwich spread - especially with leftover turkey!
Best with local produce ;) An incredibly easy, really healthy dip! Just roast the squash and toss it all in the processor!
