The Story of the Roasted Onion & Garlic Dip
Everyone grew up with some version of an onion dip at family BBQs and holiday parties. At Point Nine, we wanted to take that nostalgic “chips and dip” feeling and give it the professional kitchen treatment. Our Roasted Onion & Garlic Dip is designed for the person who wants ultimate comfort food but appreciates the depth of flavor that comes from slow-roasting fresh ingredients. It’s the ultimate “guilty pleasure” made with zero shortcuts.
The Craft: The Power of Confit
The “magic” in this dip comes from the garlic. We don’t just use raw or powdered garlic; we use garlic confit. This involves slow-cooking whole garlic cloves in oil at a low temperature until they become soft, buttery, and incredibly sweet. We then fold that “liquid gold” into our charred onion base.
The onions themselves are charred to provide a hint of smokiness that balances the sweetness of the garlic. The result is a dip that is incredibly thick, creamy, and packed with an “umami” punch that keeps you reaching for the next chip. Speaking of chips—ours are sliced thin and fried in-house to ensure they have the structural integrity to handle this heavy-duty dip.
The Trailside Experience
This is the ultimate end of the week reward. After you’ve put in your time in the office, sitting down with a cold beer and a bowl of this savory dip is pure bliss. It’s also one of our most popular “Trivia Night” snacks because it’s easy to share while you’re busy debating pop culture facts with your team. Whether you’re inside near the bar or outside enjoying the Kansas breeze, the aroma of roasted garlic is the ultimate invitation to relax.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there dairy in the dip? Yes, this dip features a creamy dairy base to achieve its signature texture.
- Is it very “garlicky”? It has a deep garlic flavor, but because the garlic is roasted/confit, it is sweet and mellow rather than sharp or biting. You won’t have “garlic breath” for the rest of the week!
