My 8-year-old, however, gave it rave reviews. He knows I sometimes share my kitchen experiments on Catholic Mom, and he said, “Mommy, you need to share this with the world on the internet!”  So, here it is, world. Enjoy it with crusty bread, raw vegetables, crackers, or whatever sounds good to you.   #### Roasted Garlic Dip ##### INGREDIENTS  2 large heads garlic, unpeeled 2 teaspoons olive oil ½ cup plain Greek yogurt ¼ cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons minced onion (or ½ teaspoons onion powder) salt and pepper to taste   ##### Directions  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cut about ¼ inch off the top of the head of garlic to expose the tops of all the cloves. Brush the cut cloves with olive oil, then wrap the head in aluminum foil.  Bake in the preheated oven until the cloves are tender and lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Remove, and cool to room temperature.  Once cool, squeeze the heads of garlic over a mixing bowl to remove the roasted cloves from their skins. Mash the cloves well with a fork, then add the yogurt, mayonnaise, onions, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended. Chill 2 to 4 hours for best flavor.   > [Click to tweet: > For #MeatlessFriday, a dip that got rave reviews from the kids! #catholicmom](https://ctt.ac/cfP0r) [![Download a printable recipe card](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/275132/d3e23ee6-4eac-4cee-bf5b-158863a3fe4d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/275132/d3e23ee6-4eac-4cee-bf5b-158863a3fe4d)   [![Choose from our big menu of Meatless Friday recipes](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/275132/8c73dbdc-6811-4a4a-a02e-692bdf31e1cc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/275132/8c73dbdc-6811-4a4a-a02e-692bdf31e1cc)   ![null](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20220729%20MPortogallo%202.png?width=1080&name=20220729%20MPortogallo%202.png) --- Copyright 2022 Monica Portogallo Images: Canva ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-roasted-garlic-dip%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-roasted-garlic-dip%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-roasted-garlic-dip%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Meatless%20Friday%3A%20Roasted%20Garlic%20Dip) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-roasted-garlic-dip%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-roasted-garlic-dip%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Monica Portogallo](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Monica%20Portogallo.jpeg) ### [Monica Portogallo](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/monica-portogallo) Monica Portogallo is a mother and registered dietitian nutritionist who does her best not to miss the lessons God sends to her through the joys and struggles of daily life.
