This Creamy Butternut and Peanut Butter Dip is rich and silky with a wonderful caramelized flavor from coconut sugar and sesame oil. It’s super healthy with all-natural, plant-based ingredients that are readily available, and it takes about 40 minutes to prepare the best veggie dip you can make. I baked the butternut to dehydrate it, ensuring the dip doesn’t become mushy while imparting a caramelized, slightly charred flavor.

This simple recipe calls for butternut, peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, roasted sesame oil, and green apple, making it an excellent choice for snacking or drizzling over salads as an accompaniment to appetizers or sides. When selecting peanut butter, choose natural peanut butter with no added sugars or oils; otherwise, your dip may become too oily and overly sweet.

The roasted sesame oil and peanut butter provide just the right amount of richness, while green apple, coconut sugar, and butternut deliver a perfect sweetness balanced by the tang of vinegar and lemon juice. Blend until smooth for an ultra-creamy texture, or leave a few chunks if you prefer some texture. Enjoy!

This dip features the natural sweetness of roasted butternut paired with the creamy richness of peanut butter. Rich in vitamins and essential nutrients, the butternut delivers a smooth, caramelized flavor perfectly complemented by the tang of apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. Ideal as a versatile snack or as a salad accompaniment, this recipe showcases a vibrant, plant-based profile.
