  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  3. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the caramelized squash, caramelized onions, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  4. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite dipping items.
