Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dip
1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add Olive Oil: Pour the extra virgin olive oil over the garlic mixture and stir to combine.
3. Let it Sit: Allow the dip to sit for at least 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. For an even richer flavor, let it sit for up to an hour at room temperature.
Step 2: Serve
1. Garnish: Before serving, stir in the chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
2. Enjoy: Serve the dip in a bowl alongside crusty bread, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
