How To Roast Garlic for This Recipe

To make our Roasted Eggplant Red Pepper Dip Recipe you need four cloves of roasted garlic, as well as some of the oil the garlic is cooked in, so be sure not to throw away your delicious garlic oil! You can use garlic oil in so many places – drizzled on scrambled eggs, as a dip for crusty bread, in homemade salad vinaigrettes, or as a base for many cooked dishes like stir fries and pastas. Check out this post for 6 Easy Ways To Roast Garlic, With Or Without An Oven.

Be Sure To Protect The Chili!

Because the red finger chili used in the recipe is much smaller than both the eggplant and the red pepper, try tucking it underneath the red pepper halves for protection.
