- To roast the garlic, simmer the peeled cloves in a small saucepan with olive oil for 15-20 minutes over low/medium heat.
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Reserve 1 tablespoon olive oil for the topping. Process or blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl or pitcher.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil over the top and serve with raw veggies, chips and/or crackers. Also, wonderful as a topping for sweet potatoes, salads and wraps.
