Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Garlic press
  • Measuring spoons
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Start by mincing the garlic cloves and chopping the parsley. This will ensure that the flavors are released when mixed with the olive oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, pour in the 1 cup of olive oil. This will be the base of your dip, so consider using a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  3. Add the minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of chopped parsley to the bowl. The combination of these ingredients will create a fragrant and flavorful dip.
  4. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper. This will add a nice kick to your dip. Adjust the amount according to your heat preference.
  5. Finally, sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste. This step is crucial, as it enhances all the flavors in your Olive Oil Bread Dip.
  6. Allow the dip to sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This resting period lets all the flavors meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, consider roasting the garlic before adding it to the dip.
  • Make the dip a few hours in advance; the longer it sits, the more flavorful it becomes.
  • Serve with crusty bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
