Roasted Garlic White Bean Dip

A creamy, herb-kissed dip that’s simple enough for everyday but special enough for a gathering.

Ingredients

• 1 whole head of garlic

• 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

• 1 (15 oz) can white beans, rinsed and drained

• 1/2 tablespoon tahini

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 2 tablespoons water

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

• Chili oil

• Dukkah

Instructions

1. Roast the Garlic
   Cut the top off the garlic head and place it in the center of a piece of foil. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, wrap it up, and roast at 400°F for 30 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle.

2. Blend the Dip
   Squeeze the roasted garlic into a small food processor. Add white beans, tahini, dill, lemon juice, water, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.

3. Serve and Garnish
   Spoon into a serving dish. Drizzle with chili oil and sprinkle with Dukkah. Serve as a dip with veggies, pita, or crackers.
