Creamy Vegan Caramelized Onion + Garlic Dip + Hickory BBQ Vegan  Protein Chips

Combining the savory notes of hickory BBQ flavor and rich, subtly-sweet caramelized onion, this chip + dip pair is a crowd-pleasing party appetizer that we guarantee will leave your guests begging for the recipe (and shocked to learn that it’s plant-based and allergy-free!).

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 whole head garlic
• 2 large onions , peeled, cut in half then sliced finely
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 package silken tofu
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 2 teaspoons white miso paste
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar , or lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Up to ¼ cup plant-based milk , unsweetened & unflavored
• Safe + Fair Hickory BBQ Vegan Protein Chips

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Keep the garlic head all in one piece (don't break off individual cloves) and slice about ¼ inch straight off the top, exposing the inside of the cloves inside.
3. Take a square of tin foil, grease it lightly with olive oil, then put the garlic head cut side down in the middle of the foil and wrap it tightly. 
4. Bake in the oven for around 40 minutes. After this time check it. It should be really soft if you give it a squeeze. Give it another 5 minutes or so if it's not. Once completely soft remove from the oven and allow to cool in the foil. 
5. While the garlic is roasting, heat a sauté pan over a medium low heat with the olive oil. Once hot add the sliced onion. Cook slowly for around 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Once the onion is soft and starting to turn golden, add the sugar and stir well.
7.  Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or so until a deep golden brown, then remove from the heat and set aside.
8. Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, white miso, vinegar and salt to a blender.
9. Take the roasted garlic head and gently squeeze the garlic out of the papery skins and into the blender along with about half of the onion.
10. Blend until completely smooth. Check the consistency and add milk as needed to get a nice dip consistency.
11. Add the thyme and the rest of the onion and stir to distribute. 
12. Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with more caramelized onion & serve with Safe + Fair Hickory BBQ Vegan Protein Chips.
