DOES ROASTING THE GARLIC BRING OUT THE FLAVORS?

100% yes it does.

When it roasts the sugars inside of the garlic itself caramelize which in turn makes the garlic a little bit sweeter, but with a richness. 

Usually, just regular garlic if you were to eat it you would have this tangy bite to it, but roasting the garlic takes that away and creates a smoother flavor that goes well in many dishes.

WHAT DO YOU SERVE WITH THIS DIP?

You can serve anything that you’d like to serve!

We like to serve this dip recipe with chips, crackers, baguettes, pretzels, vegetables, and more.

This goes great with any savory or salty dippers.

It really depends on what your favorite thing to serve with dips is, but when we serve this we include a variety of options.

ANY ADDITIONS?

Oh, you better believe it! Bring on the flavor!

• Sprinkle green onions on top for a fresh, zesty kick.
• Add bacon bits for a smoky, crunchy twist to this delicious dip.
• Mix in parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy flavor.
• Toss in some hot sauce for a spicy surprise—great for that spicy foods fan!
• Garnish with chopped bell pepper for color and crunch.

• Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops for a hearty dipper—makes it a big hit!

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

You know I always have options here.

Let me know how it turns out!

• Use light cream cheese instead of regular block of cream cheese for a lighter version.
• Swap sour cream with heavy cream for a richer, creamier, delicious dip.
• Replace roasted garlic with garlic powder if you’re in a pinch (but roasted is best for that great flavor!).
• Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangy, healthier twist.
• Substitute kosher salt with sea salt—keeps that simple ingredients vibe.
• Swap fresh chives with dried chives or green onions for a quick flavor fix.
