This Butternut Squash Hummus is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Tahini makes it creamy (and full of satiating fat and bone-building calcium) and miso gives it an umami punch while also supporting your microbiome. I roast the squash with smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and of course turmeric (because why not!). A vibrant and flavorful Fall dip that you really could eat by the spoonful!
