How To Make Zucchini Yogurt Dip
Making this zucchini yogurt dip really is a cinch. Probably the hardest part is slicing and roasting the zucchini (and that is actually really easy!).
I do recommend using a food processor or high speed blender for this dip as it will give you the right consistency. If you don't use a high powered blender or food processor, your dip will be chunky and gloopy and not smooth and delicious.
So let's get roasting!
Start by slicing the zucchini length ways into 1cm strips and lay them out on a large baking tray. Cut the top off the head of the clove of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle the zucchini and garlic in olive oil and bake the garlic and zucchini for 30 minutes at 200C (390F).
Once roasted, remove the zucchini and garlic from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. In the peak of zucchini growing season in the summer I often roast big batches of zucchini and have it in the fridge to add to sauces, salads ... and this dip!
Once the zucchini and garlic are cooled, squeeze the garlic cloves out of the head of garlic. They will be creamy and golden in color. Roasting them mellows out the flavor and creates a sweetness you don't get with raw garlic.
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blitz at high speed for around 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the ingredients have formed a smooth, creamy dip.
Place the zucchini yogurt dip into a bowl and refrigerate for around one hour or until sufficiently chilled.
When you're ready to serve, top with fresh herbs, olive oil and cumin seeds.
How To Serve Zucchini Yogurt Dip
Like I mentioned earlier, this dip is so very versatile! You can use any herbs you have on hand or growing in the garden, top it with any seeds or leftover dukkah ... and you can serve it alongside lots of different things. Some of the ways we like to eat this zucchini yogurt dip are:
- Alongside a big plate of sourdough pita chips or sourdough jalapeño cheddar crackers.
- On a platter with delicious sourdough crostini and plenty of vegetable sticks like carrot, cucumber and celery.
- Serve it with a loaf of sourdough French Bread.
