Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, sliced into rings
1 medium onion, sliced into rings
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces cream cheese
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Challah, foccacia, or pita bread, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the bell pepper, onion, garlic, zucchini, and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl and toss until the vegetables are coated. Spread the vegetables evenly on sheet pan lined with foil and place to the oven. Roast, tossing occasionally, until they are soft and are beginning to turn brown around the edges, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Place the vegetables in the bowl of a food processor along with the cream cheese and process until well combined and spreadable; do not process until completely smooth.

Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spread on soft bread, such as challah, foccacia, or pita bread. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Great

Had my 12 year old veggie-phobic girl make this with me. She has now requested this at least once every other week, including... her birthday meal. Read more

Pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made this for a party and everyone said it was pretty good, but I didn't get many people who thought it was amazing. The... spread is pretty sweet and good, but I wanted more flavor. I tried using a poblano chili one time and it added a kick but made the spread more bland I thought. Tried another time with some sweet basil, hoping it would help compliment the already sweetness of the spread, but it didn't do much. Overall this recipe is good and people like it, but its not for me. Read more

A Keeper!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for our 4th of July celebration. EVERYBODY who tasted it liked it and wanted to know what was in it. I went a... little heavy on the roasted garlic (almost always do) and used 1/3 fat cr. cheese. It was fabulous. Definitely want to have this around. Next time will try w/tofutti from Trader Joes and need to try as a sandwich spread. Thanks Alton...love ya!!!Read more

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe before checking my refrigerator for ingredients, and I only used half of the cream cheese, but I loved how... the dip came out! My friends and I ate the dip with celery and french bread. It was definitely something I'd made again.Read more
