Veggie Cream Cheese Dip (Recipe)

What could be better for a party than a great dip that can go with almost anything? I made this for a recent gathering and it was well received. It's also super easy to make. I started with 2 carrots, peeled and cut in half and then each half was cut down the middle. Then I chopped 1 onion into wedges, and 2 green bell peppers into large pieces after removing the seeds and white parts. I sprayed a cookie sheet with cooking spray, placed all the veggies on top, sprinkled with salt and baked in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

After a 10-minute cooling period, I then put all the softened veggies into the food processor and processed them for about 1 minute until well minced; scraping down the sides once or twice. I then added one 8 ounce block of cream cheese, 1 tsp. seasoning salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/2 tsp. salt and processed until well incorporated.

This dip can be served with potato chips, pita chips, carrots, celery or anything else you would want to dip into something. You can even use any vegetables you want; it's very versatile. Also, for a lower fat version, greek yogurt can be used instead of cream cheese, or you can use half of each.
