Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, grill zucchini instead of roasting.
- Remove excess moisture from zucchini for a thicker dip.
- Tahini can be swapped with sunflower seed or cashew butter if needed.
- Pine nuts can be replaced with walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds.
- Skip feta and use dairy-free yogurt for a fully dairy-free version.
- Stir the dip before serving if it sits in the fridge.
