Ingredients

1 garlic head
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
½ tbsp maple syrup
1 cup yogurt soy yogurt used

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) convection/fan.
Prepare the garlic: Remove the extra layers of skin from the garlic bulb and slice about 1 inch (1 cm) off the top to expose the cloves. Wrap the bulb in baking paper or place it in a small oven-safe dish with a lid. Bake for 40 minutes. The garlic will be very hot, so either make it ahead of time or let it cool before squeezing it into the sauce.
Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, squeeze out the roasted garlic and mash it with a fork. Add the lemon juice, parsley, maple syrup and yogurt, then mix well. Season with salt to taste.

Notes

Make the garlic straight away and place it in the freezer in a mug to cool while you finish the prep. Fifteen minutes makes it easy to squeeze out without hurting your hands.

Optionally, add 2 tbsp of hulled tahini to the sauce for extra flavor and healthy fats.
