Spinach dip with roast carrot batons is a delightful appetizer that combines the creamy and rich flavors of ricotta cheese and spinach with the aromatic and slightly sweet taste of roasted carrots. This recipe is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a great choice for a healthy snack or starter. The spearmint and lemon zest add a refreshing twist, while the cumin adds a warm, earthy depth to the dish.
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained after thawing to avoid a watery dip.
- For a smoother dip, blend the mixture using a food processor until you achieve the desired consistency.
- You can substitute fresh spinach for frozen if you prefer; just blanch it briefly and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dip if you want a bit of heat.
- Toss the carrot batons with the olive oil and ground cumin evenly for a more uniform roast.
- Keep an eye on the carrots while roasting to prevent them from becoming too soft; they should be tender but slightly firm to provide a good texture contrast to the dip.
This spinach dip with roast carrot batons is a versatile and nutritious option that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a standout dish for any occasion. Serve it warm and enjoy the delightful contrast between the creamy dip and the roasted carrots.
