Roasted Vegetable & Chickpea Dip

This recipe is the perfect way to spice up your veggie dip. The key is roasting the bell pepper, onions, and zucchini to get some color and release some of the natural sweetness in the vegetables. We like the addition of smoked paprika, but we encourage you to experiment with other herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc.) and spices (chipotle, adobo, etc.) to your liking.
