2 tablespoons high-quality olive oil
→ Herb Blend

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

→ Spices and Extras
07 -
1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
08 -
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
09 -
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
10 -
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional if you like extra spice)
11 -
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional but enhances the flavor)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small pan, heat up the olive oil on medium. Add in the minced garlic and cook until it turns a golden color around the edges. Watch it closely because garlic burns fast. Take it off the heat when it's ready.
02 -
In a shallow plate or dish, mix together the rosemary, basil, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
03 -
Add the golden garlic and olive oil to the herb mixture and give everything a good mix. If you want deeper flavor, drizzle balsamic vinegar over it.
04 -
Serve it alongside warm bread, pita, or crusty pizza bread for dipping. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the flavors really come together.
# Notes:
01 -
The flavors improve if the mixture sits for a bit before serving.
02 -
Store any extra dip in the fridge for up to one week. Let it warm up to room temperature before you serve it again.
