  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft.
  2. Let the garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted cloves from the skins into a bowl and mash into a paste.
  3. In a mixing bowl combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the mashed roasted garlic and stir until smooth and evenly combined.
  5. Mix in chopped parsley and optional honey if desired.

Notes

For best texture use thick Greek yogurt. Add fresh herbs or spices to customize the flavor.
