Notes
Do not swap out the roasted garlic for raw garlic. The flavor will be way too intense and the dip will taste spicy and likely be inedible. Cooking the garlic is necessary to mellow its flavor before using in the recipe. If you don’t want to take the time to roast the garlic, swap it out for 1-2 teaspoons of garlic powder. (Start with 1 teaspoon, taste your spread, then adjust to taste.)
