## Ingredients

- 8 cloves whole garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 0.33 cup olive oil
- 200 g vegan cream cheese
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 tsp salt

## Instructions

1. Cook the garlic, sesame seeds, and olive oil in a small pot over low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is soft and lightly golden.

4. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.

## Tips

- Allow the garlic to cool slightly before mashing it into the cream cheese.
- Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of garlic, making it mild and caramelized. Raw garlic will have a sharper, spicier taste.
- If it thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir well.
- You can roast the garlic in advance and store it in olive oil for up to one week
