How to Make Avocado Roasted Garlic Dip
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap an entire head of garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 40-50 minutes, or until soft and caramelized.
- While garlic roasts, mash 2 ripe avocados in a medium bowl.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins and add to the mashed avocados.
- Add 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. This also helps prevent browning.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers. If the dip starts to brown, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten the color.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
