When I write the grocery list, but Justin does the grocery shopping, there can sometimes be some miscommunication. One such time, I needed 2 individual green onions and he bought 2 bundles of green onion. And I can only use so much green onion throughout the week for a garnish.

So, what do we do next? Let’s make it into a yummy chip dip! I am a sucker for chip dips. I could (and have) made a total meal out of Taco Dip and Hot Virginia Dip.

Actually, the recipe for Hot Virginia Dip was the basis for this recipe. Using the cream cheese as the creamy base was delicious. The only real work that needs to be done is roasting the green onions before mixing the dip. But that’s easy to do.

You could do another bundle of green onions if you like a lot of onion flavor. I thought it was perfect how it was. Justin said he would want to add more onions next time we make this caramelized onion dip. 

Easy Green Onion Dip Recipe Tips

• Garnish with a bit of kosher salt and black pepper before serving
• Add roasted garlic for extra flavor
• Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup
• Mix in cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or chili powder for an added kick
• Serve with a variety of tortilla chips, pita chips, or raw vegetables such as celery sticks

Roasted Green Onion Dip Step by Step

Ingredients

• 12 green onions (trimmed and coarsely chopped)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 8 oz sour cream
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the green onions on a shallow rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and toss to coat.

Spread in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes. Your thinner pieces will start to crisp. That’s ok, it will all mix together in the end.

Place the caramelized onions in a food processor to chop finely. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Serve the creamy dip with potato chips or crackers. We had pita chips with ours and they were perfect!

Leftovers

Storage: Store the remaining roasted green onion dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay good for up to 2-3 days. Give it a good stir before serving it chilled.
