Ingredients

5 heads garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon minced dill
1 lemon
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Heat the oven to 400°F. Trim ¼-inch off the top of each head of garlic. Place each head on an individual piece of foil and drizzle each with the olive oil. Wrap in the foil and roast until the garlic is tender, about 45 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then squeeze the garlic into a bowl of a food processor along with the cream cheese, sour cream, chili flakes, and dill. Zest in the lemon and squeeze in the juice and purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Garnish with the crispy garlic and serve with fresh bread.
