Creating your Butternut Squash & Whipped Feta Dip is simple! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Squash: Peel and dice the butternut squash into small cubes for even roasting.
3. Coat with Oil and Season: In a large bowl, toss the squash with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
4. Roast the Squash: Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for 30-35 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelized.
5. Blend the Dip: Once the squash is cool, combine it in a food processor with the crumbled feta, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dip and adjust any seasonings—more honey for sweetness or additional lemon juice for brightness.
7. Garnish: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
8. Chill (Optional): You can serve it immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Enjoy the depth of flavor created by each step of the process, from roasting to blending!
