I'm not sure what happened, but my veggie dip turned out a complete disaster. The vegetables were undercooked and crunchy, and the dip itself was too thick. I think I'll have to try this recipe again sometime when I have more time.

This veggie dip was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it could have used a little less chili sauce. However, the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the dip itself was nice and creamy.

I'm not sure what happened, but my veggie dip turned out a complete disaster. The vegetables were overcooked and mushy, and the dip itself was too runny. I think I'll have to try this recipe again sometime when I have more time.

This veggie dip was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used a little more seasoning. However, the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the dip was nice and creamy.
