Roasted-Garlic Herb Dip

This roasted garlic and herb dip is a masterclass in simple, plant-based indulgence. By slowly confitting whole garlic heads in extra-virgin olive oil with fresh thyme and rosemary, the sharp pungency of the garlic transforms into a mellow, buttery sweetness. The resulting spread is incredibly fragrant and rich, making it an sophisticated addition to any vegan appetiser platter or mezze spread.

Serve this versatile dip alongside warm sourdough, crunchy crudités, or use it as a flavourful base for roasted vegetables. Because it relies on high-quality pantry staples, it is an easy yet impressive choice for hosting or a quiet evening at home. The infused oil also makes a wonderful dressing, ensuring every drop of this aromatic preparation is savoured.

Ingredients for Roasted-Garlic Herb Dip

  • 2 heads garlic (3 inches wide)

  • 120ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 6 (4-inch) sprigs fresh thyme

  • 3 (4-inch) sprigs fresh rosemary

How to make Roasted-Garlic Herb Dip

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 218°C.

Cut off and discard 1/2 inch from tops of garlic heads, exposing cloves. Put garlic in a pie plate with oil, herbs, salt, and pepper and cover plate tightly with a double layer of foil. Roast until garlic is golden and tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

When garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze cloves into a bowl and pour oil through a fine-mesh sieve onto garlic. Mash well with a fork and season with salt.
