Ingredients
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the roasted butternut squash, crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Transfer the whipped feta dip to a serving bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches.
