Roasted veggie dip hints

The roasted vegetables caremalise and get some beautiful sweetness and char to them which lifts the flavour. You can also add more vegetables like fennel and butternut to the mixture. Use plant-based alternatives to the mayonnaise, cheese and cream and you can separate them from another bowl easily. You can also use your air fryer to shorten the time and only cook for 20-30 minutes. It’s an exciting twist on the usual dipping sauces.
