    This Roasted Tomato Basil Dip can be used as a sauce or dip. Add it to pasta, or pizza, or use it as a dipping sauce for toast.

    Pair it with some vegan vegetable fritters or some vegan ricotta stuffed breadsticks.

    Serve it hot or cold as an appetizer, it tastes great either way. It is rich and creamy.

    Another great way to use roasted tomatoes is on vegan bruschetta. Other dip recipes to try are my Vegan Spinach Ricotta Dip recipe, Avocado and Basil Pesto recipe, and Vegan Layer Dip.

        Yes, place the mixed dip in a freezer-safe container. It will last several months in the freezer.
