Roasted Garlic Basil Sauce

I'm so excited to share with you one of my latest creations - a Roasted Garlic Basil Sauce! This sauce is the perfect blend of two classic flavors, roasted garlic and fresh basil, that come together to create a truly incredible taste experience.

I started by roasting whole garlic cloves until they were golden and soft. This intensifies the garlic flavor, and gives it a sweetness that you can't get from raw garlic. Then I added fresh basil, which gives the sauce a bright and herby flavor, and blended everything together until smooth.

This sauce is incredibly versatile, and can be used in a variety of different ways. You can serve it as a dipping sauce, pour it over roasted vegetables, or even use it as a salad dressing. It's really up to you and your imagination.

I've been playing around with this recipe for a while now, and I've finally got it just right. I can't wait for you to try it for yourself!

Here's the recipe for you to try at home:

Roasted Garlic Basil Sauce

Ingredients
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1/2 cup of fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Wrap the garlic cloves in foil and place in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Cut the zucchini into small slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Drizzle the zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the zucchini in the oven to roast for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Once the garlic is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
  7. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted garlic, roasted zucchini, basil, lemon juice, water, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  8. Blend until smooth and add salt and pepper to taste.
  9. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more water to reach your desired consistency.
  10. Serve with pasta, spread on sandwiches, or use as a dip for vegetables. Enjoy!
