Today I’m sharing a dip that’s flavorful and easy to make.

It’s a Roasted Rosemary Garlic White Bean Dip Recipe with roasted garlic, fresh rosemary, and a hint of lemon juice.

This garlic white bean dip is sure to leave you craving more.

It doesn’t take much to make this delicious recipe so let me show you how to make it for yourself.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans — drained and rinsed
  • 4 cloves garlic — roasted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary — finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Make sure you have roasted your garlic cloves. If not, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), wrap the cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil, and roast for about 20–25 minutes until soft and golden brown.

Step 1 — Blend the Ingredients

In a food processor or blender, combine the white beans, roasted garlic cloves, chopped rosemary, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 2 — Adjust the Consistency

If the dip is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water or additional lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add more white beans to thicken it up.

Step 3 — Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an extra pop of flavor. Serve with your favorite dippers such as pita chips, crackers, or sliced veggies.

Time-Saving Tips

Use pre-peeled garlic cloves to save time on roasting.

Double the recipe and store the extra dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Potential Substitutes

You can use dried rosemary instead instead of fresh rosemary. But reduce the amount by half since dried herbs are more potent.

If you’re not a fan of white beans, you can use cannellini beans or chickpeas as a substitute.

There you have it!

This dip recipe is a reminder that good food doesn’t have to be complicated.

With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of love, you can create this delicious white bean dip for yourself or share it with family and friends.

It has a lot of nutritional value. White beans are a great source of protein and fiber, while garlic is known for its immune-boosting properties.

So say goodbye to bland store-bought dips with this homemade recipe.

Try it yourself and let me know if you enjoy it.

Happy Snacking!
