Carrot Dip and Beetroot dip/spread

You can make two different dips with this recipe. They both have the same ingredients, the only difference is using carrot or beetroot. They are both equally delicious and are great to have in your fridge to eat with sandwiches, wraps, crackers, a dip for veggie sticks or fritters to name a few.

Roasting the vegetables gives these dips extra flavour as it brings out the vegetables natural sweetness that your kids are sure to love.
