Autumnal Roasted Pumpkin & Feta Dip

I love dips, but I must admit, I’m pretty picky about which ones I’ll eat.

I avoid most store-bought dips as they are full of processed oils, preservatives, sugar, and numbers.
Besides, dips are so easy to make from scratch, literally taking no more than 10 minutes!
After receiving a massive pumpkin in my vegetable delivery box, I was determined to get inventive and spin a few pumpkin based recipes in ways I thought the pumpkin-hating kids might like.

I do love me a cooking challenge : – )

I’m happy to report big success with this pumpkin dip recipe, it went down as a perfect after school snack alongside some vegetable sticks and wholegrain crackers and they loved it! It’s perfect to pack into lunchboxes too.
