Consider this recipe a public service announcement – get your root veggies while you still can people! It’s February folks, and before we know it, it will be asparagus season. And then berry season! Definitely, things to look forward to, but alas, butternut squash and sweet potatoes will be long gone. I recommend making this butternut squash dip while you still have the chance!

It’s the perfect appetizer and is so nice to have on hand for a healthy vegan and gluten-free snack. I’ve never mowed through fresh veggies quite like I did when I had a bowl of this handy in the fridge. You can eat it warm, just out of the oven, or chilled in the fridge which gives it more of a hummus-y vibe.
