ROASTED CARROT DIP
Surprise your guests with this unique and flavorful dip. Sweet, caramelized flavors, paired with a hint of heat from the chile oil. Add as much or as little oil as you'd like, or omit completely if you prefer. Use different fresh or dried peppers to infuse the oil. This reheats exceptionally well; in fact, I find it more flavorful the next day. Serve with wheat crackers or pita chips. Instead of parsley, you can top with crushed pistachios or pumpkin seeds.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp, wrinkled, or have blemishes.
- Roast the carrots properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the carrots at a high temperature (400°F or higher) until they are tender and slightly caramelized. You can also add a little bit of oil or butter to the carrots before roasting to help them brown.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dip. Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Don't over-process the dip: The best roasted carrot dip has a slightly chunky texture. Don't over-process it in the food processor or blender, or it will become too smooth and lose its flavor.
- Season the dip to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and cumin you add to the dip will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the dip and adjust the seasonings as needed.
