Balsamic Almond Butter Dipping Sauce dipped with meatballs in a small round white bowl against a blue fabric background

Let’s be honest, dipping sauce makes just about everything better. Meatballs? Better. Breadsticks? Yup. Vegetables? AKA dip holders. This Balsamic Almond Butter Dipping Sauce takes 5 minutes to make, uses ingredients you probably already have on your shelf, and is just about the best dipping sauce out there. I can assure you it’ll bump your appetizer up a notch, or 10. 

Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash and Brussels in a close up shot laid on white parchment paper

Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash, and Brussels is a genuine triple threat. This dinner delight is vegetarian, full of flavor, and cooks in one pan. It doesn’t take your whole day to prepare either. At any given moment, you are thirty minutes of marinating, a few minutes of tossing ingredients together, and thirty minutes of hands-off roasting away from enjoying a flavor-packed, wholesome, vegetarian meal. Seriously. There’s really no downside to this recipe.
