When you start to believe that your kitchen has the magical ability to take you anywhere, that’s where the joy in cooking comes for me. As a self proclaimed escape artist, I have packed everything up and left one too many times. For the sake of the story, buying one-way tickets and ending up on neighboring continents is my familiar comfort. Forever captivated by things like a spinning globe or random map, knowing I can point my finger and daydream about a certain destination is fuel for my soul.

How to Serve Carrot Dip

Recently I sat daydreaming about the blue alleyways in Moroccan cities. The streets lined with hundreds of spices in wooden dishes for your senses. I knew I had to honor my Moroccan daydream by creating a dish to honor the captivating north African country. This part of the world is actually an easy place to curate some root veggie dishes. This Moroccan roasted carrot dip works as an appetizer or a sandwich spread.

  • Serve as a dip with fresh veggies, naan, or crackers.
  • Use as a spread on your favorite sandwiches. I love roasted all my leftover veggies and rolling them in a pita sandwich with this spread.
  • Use as pizza sauce.
  • Toss with pasta noodles.
