4 Sneaky Roasted Veggie Garlic Ranch Yogurt Dip

Let me share a little secret: I’m hooked on sneaking veggies into everything. Snacks? Yes. Desserts? You bet. Dips? Oh, especially dips.

One afternoon, as I stared at a container of plain yogurt and a counter covered in produce, I had a thought: could I turn all of this into a rich, delicious dip no one could resist?

And my answer? Absolutely!

Introducing my 4-Sneaky Roasted Veggie & Garlic Ranch Yogurt Dip, a healthy, flavor-packed spread that’s become a fridge staple. The zesty ranch twist and roasted garlic take it to the next level! And honestly, who doesn’t love ranch?

I use this savory snack for dunking fresh veggies, piling onto crackers, or spreading on sandwiches. No matter how I serve it, I know I’m adding extra nutrition with every dollop. What I love most is hearing friends and family rave about this wholesome veggie dip without realizing they’re devouring zucchini, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers in every bite!

HOW I MADE-OVER THIS DIP:

This dip has only what you need: no mayo, no sour cream, just protein-packed, good-for-your-gut yogurt. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that supports heart health and may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Onions contain compounds like quercetin, known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Zucchini is low in calories and high in fiber, supporting digestion and helping maintain a healthy weight. Bell peppers deliver a powerful dose of vitamin C, strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy skin. Together, these veggies create a nutrient-packed snack that fuels your well-being!

This recipe is nut-free, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, egg-free, soy-free, paleo, grain-free, and vegetarian.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

(Use organic ingredients when possible)

Yogurt
Onion
Tomato
Zucchini
Bell pepper
Olive oil
Fresh garlic
Salt
Dried parsley
Dried dill
Dried chives
Garlic granules
Onion powder
Onion flakes
Dried basil
Dried thyme
Black pepper
Buttermilk powder

THIS IS HOW YOU’LL MAKE IT:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

It all starts with fresh zucchini, cherry tomatoes, an onion, and a vibrant red bell pepper. I chop everything, toss it with a little olive oil and a large garlic clove (skin on), then roast it in the oven.

Roasting veggies deepens their natural flavors, almost like magic. The garlic doesn’t need to be fully caramelized, just softened enough to lose that raw bite. I also like using jarred roasted bell peppers sometimes for convenience.

My go-to is the Whole Foods brand, which you can grab on Amazon or in-store. You can also find other great options at many retailers.

Once the veggies are roasted to perfection, I let them cool, squeeze the garlic out of its skin, and blend equal parts of the roasted mix with creamy Greek yogurt, the roasted garlic, homemade ranch seasoning, and buttermilk powder. Since roasting shrinks the veggies, you should end up with about a cup.

I love Greek yogurt, but any plain yogurt works well. Now, here’s one of my favorite pantry hacks: powdered buttermilk! It’s a game-changer when I want ranch dip but don’t have fresh buttermilk.

I found this amazing organic option on Amazon by Healthier Comforts. No more buying fresh buttermilk only to watch it spoil in a few days!

And the result is a velvety, tangy, herby dip that is so delicious, you’d never guess it’s packed with so many veggies!

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

Serve it with a variety of fresh veggies, or add it to wraps, bagels, and sandwiches. Pair it with pretzels, pita chips, or on a cheeseboard. Swap plain mayo in a chicken or shrimp salad and use this as the base. Use it as a dressing, add a dollop to baked potatoes, or dip zucchini fries into it. The possibilities are endless!

SUBSTITUTIONS, TIPS, AND NOTES:

You can change the bell pepper color or use a jarred kind.  If you prefer to use buttermilk, use the same amount and taste to adjust. 

I like garlic granules over powder because I feel it has more flavor.  But use powder if you prefer!

STORAGE AND LEFTOVERS:

Store in the fridge for 5-7 days.  Very important: since dips tend to “settle,” they need to be stirred. To refresh and smooth out this dip, stir in a tablespoon or two of plain yogurt each time you serve it.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES:

I don’t include nutritional values in my recipes because I believe in intuitive eating and balanced nutrition. Since ingredient brands can vary, the numbers aren’t always consistent. If you’d like a more accurate breakdown, I recommend entering this recipe into MyFitnessPal or a similar tracker.
