Roasted Garlic Recipe

  • Prepare our air fryer roasted garlic or oven roasted garlic recipe using one garlic bulb. You can just use regular minced garlic but will be glad you tried this dip with roasted garlic.

  • Gently squeeze garlic out of the bulb and into a food processor.

  • Pulse until mixture forms a slightly chunky paste. *you may need to scrape the sides of the food processor and repeat pulsing if too much goes up the side walls and hides from the blade!*
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and the roasted garlic, shallots, and dill paste.
