The inspiration for this dip came from my dear friend, Em. She served this gluten- and dairy-free dip of roasted carrot with sumac and lemon at her daughter’s birthday, and she shared with me how she made it.

This is a wonderful item to serve as a starter or snack at a party, or to take to someone else’s event, especially if they have any specific dietary requirements you don’t know about but need to be mindful of. Judging by how the adults and children were eating this up, it’s definitely an easy win.

Serve the dip with these delicious, crunchy, gluten-free seeded crackers and you won’t be able to pull yourself away from the bowl (and you can feel good about it at the same time, too!).
