Step Description Time
1 Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). 0 minutes

3 Prepare Avocado: While the garlic is roasting, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized bowl. 10 minutes

5 Add Remaining Ingredients: Fold in the lemon juice, minced fresh garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Blend well to combine. 5 minutes

7 Serve: Before serving, if the dip has turned slightly brownish in color, simply sprinkle with a bit of lemon or lime juice to brighten it up.

Tips:

  • For a smoother texture, you can blend the dip using a food processor or blender, but be cautious not to overblend, as the chunky texture adds a nice touch.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference. If you’re not a huge fan of garlic, you can reduce the quantity to suit your taste buds.
  • Serve this dip with your favorite chips, crackers, or veggie sticks for a satisfying snack or appetizer that’s sure to impress.
