Picture
Ingredients
  • 600 g butternut squash or pumpkin, seeded, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tsp grated fresh root ginger
  • 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
​
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Put the squash or pumpkin in a baking dish, drizzle over 1 tbsp of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes, tossing once or twice during cooking, until tender.
  2. Tip the squash into a food processor and add the garlic, ginger, chilli and remaining oil. Process until smooth, then briefly pulse in the lime juice and check the seasoning.
  3. Scrape the dip into a bowl and serve hot, warm or cold with crackers or pita toasts. (It will thicken on cooling, so give it a good stir before serving.)
