Make the perfect Roasted Vegetable Dip for your next family night

Whenever I am visiting a friend for a braai or just a casual catch up I find myself fighting the urge to refuse the snacks. Especially when there is a dip alongside it. Dips just make the snacks that more compelling to be enjoyed.

However, most dips are full of unhealthy properties such as trans fats and sugars. That is why I needed a different recipe. One that is still tasty and that will be enjoyed by young and old.

So after trialling a few ideas I roasted some veggies and added some flair to create this incredible dip. To serve, I placed it with savoury biscuits and a variety of crisps.
