Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Garlic bulbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off each garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the cloves. Place them on a piece of aluminum foil.
Drizzle each bulb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap them tightly in the foil.
Place the wrapped garlic bulbs on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and allow it to cool until it can be handled comfortably.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a mixing bowl, and mash them into a smooth paste using a fork.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the mashed garlic. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, stir in chopped chives for extra flavor.
Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the roasted garlic dipping sauce with bread, vegetables, or as a versatile condiment for your favorite dishes.
