Butternut Squash Hummus

1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chipotle

1/8 cup avocado oil
veggie chips

1)  In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients.
2)  Heat until warm and fragrant.
3)  Serve with veggie chips.

Review:  Last year, I bought a can of butternut squash at Trader Joe's. I thought it would be handy and would definitely get used. That was not the case. It actually took quite a bit of work to find something to use it in confidently. This seemed to be a great opportunity, as I again am hosting a game night and needed a fresh appetizer. It's been super fun trying out new recipes. This was surprisingly tasty. I say surprisingly as I couldn't imagine butternut squash and tahini, but it worked out to be a great fall dip. Savory, but a little sweet and the spices could easily be switched to more 'pumpkin spice' flavors.
