How to Make Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut off the top 1/4 inch of a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves.
  3. Place the garlic bulb in a small oven-safe dish or on a piece of aluminum foil.
  4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil generously over the exposed garlic cloves, ensuring all sides are coated.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the oiled garlic.
  6. Wrap the garlic bulb tightly in foil, creating a sealed packet.
  7. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft, caramelized, and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes to allow the garlic to cool slightly before handling.
  9. Once cool enough to handle, gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a small bowl. Discard the skins.
  10. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt).
  11. Stir with a fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  12. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add more salt if needed.
