Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 cup plant-based feta, crumbled
2 whole garlic bulbs
2 tbsp olive oil (natural), plus extra for drizzling
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (natural)
1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper (natural)
1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Optional Fresh Herbs and Add-Ins

Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, for garnish
Pinch of smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes for spicy kick
Finely chopped basil, chives, or oregano for herb infusion
Roasted red peppers, blended in
Ripe avocado, blended in
Toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts for topping

Instructions

Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the whole garlic bulbs, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil (natural), wrap in foil, and roast for about 40 minutes until the cloves are soft, caramelized, and fragrant.
Prepare the Plant-Based Feta: While the garlic roasts, crumble the plant-based feta into chunks to ensure smooth blending later.
Whip the Ingredients Together: Once the garlic is cooled, squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins and add them to a food processor along with the crumbled feta, lemon juice (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), olive oil (natural), sea salt, and black pepper (natural).
Blend Until Fluffy: Pulse the mixture gradually while adding the natural gelling agent until you achieve a light, airy, whipped texture.
Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the dip and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice (natural) as needed. Sprinkle fresh herbs on top and drizzle with olive oil (natural) before serving.

Notes

Slow roasting the garlic brings out its sweet, mellow flavor without bitterness.
Use full-fat plant-based feta for an authentic, creamy texture.
Pulse the blend in short bursts to keep the dip light and fluffy.
Always use fresh lemon juice (natural) for the brightest flavor.
Chill the dip for at least one hour before serving to let flavors meld.
