Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce

"Yum yum yum. If you like garlic you will love this. If you don't usually like garlic, you might like this because the garlic is roasted, the flavor mellows and has a sweeter taste (like caramelized). Sour cream may be substituted with plain yogurt to cut some calories. This is great for dipping veggies such as artichokes, asparagus, or whatever, it's really versatile."

directions

  • Cut off top of garlic bulb to expose most of the garlic cloves.
  • Put the bulb in an oven-safe small dish or on top of a sheet of foil.
  • Drizzle olive oil on the tops of the garlic cloves, add more if needed to drench the tops and sides of the whole bulb. Sprinkle some salt on the top of the bulb on the oil.
  • Wrap or seal up the garlic bulb with foil.
  • Roast in oven at 400°F for 30-40 minutes, until tops and sides are browned and roasted.
  • Take out of the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
  • When cooled enough to handle, squeeze out the garlic cloves from the root or the bottom of the bulb, into a small bowl.
  • Add mayonnaise and sour cream, using a fork, stir until blended.
  • Add pepper to taste, and salt if needed.

  1. i was out of good oil and didn't really want to add the extra fat so i used parmesan instead (illogical substitutions anyone?), i also used reduced fat mayo and sour cream and added some dill. this was very tasty. dipped some oven fries in it and think i'll also pair it with pretzels
     
  2. Great sauce - I used it for wraps in place of mayo. Exactly what I was looking for!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm married with 2 young children. Like lots of other folks, after getting married, I finally started learning how to cook when we got tired of take-out food. Watching Foodnetwork taught me lots of skills as well as inspired me to try. I haven't followed the shows much nowadays, but years ago my favorite chefs on FoodNetwork were Giada DeLaurentis, Ina Garten, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, and Paula Deen. I also watched 30 minute meals with Rachel Ray but never could make my meals in 30 minutes with her recipes! ;0) My pet peeves are when people refuse to try something different, or after they've had one bad experience with a certain ingredient or food then they will never want to taste anything related or with it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
