- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Bring a pan of water to the boil and blanch the garlic cloves for 3 mins, adding the broccoli for the final 1 min. Drain and leave to steam-dry.
- Toss the broccoli and garlic in the oil until well coated. Sprinkle half the cheese over the base of a lined baking tray. Add the broccoli and garlic in an even layer and squash down with a spatula. Cover with the rest of the cheese; bake for 25-30 mins until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, mix all the dip ingredients together in a serving bowl; season.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and leave to stand for a few mins; break up. Serve with the dip.
- Tip: Blanching the garlic softens the flavour as well as stopping it from burning, so don’t miss this step.
