Ingredients
  

For Garden Breadsticks

  • 1 container Pillsbury Pizza Dough
  • 1 shallot
  • 6 olives
  • 10 Stalks of Asparagus
  • 12 mini tomatoes
  • 1 handful fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For Black Garlic Dip

  • 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp for cooking garlic, the other tablespoon will go right in the black garlic mix
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 2 tbsp black garlic
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 400ºF.

MAKE THE GARDEN BREADSTICKS

  • Start by prepping you veggies. Slice 1 shallot into thin pieces lengthwise. 
  • Thinly slice the 6 olives so they are little flat circles. 
  • Cut 10 pieces of asparagus in half (carefully) lengthwise...this will allow them to cook nicely in the amount of time the pizza dough takes to bake. 
  • Cut the 12 mini tomatoes in half.
  • Pull apart the handful of fresh dill into smaller pieces.

  • Next open up your Pillsbury Pizza Dough and lay it out on a flat surface on parchment paper. Cut the dough into breadstick-sized pieces (I went down the middle long ways, and then cut the dough into 20 breadsticks).

  • Now it's time to decorate. Place the prepped veggies on the dough in a design you want. Be creative! This is the fun part.
    Make sure you press each ingredient into the dough so the baked dough will grab onto them and keep the toppings from falling off.

  • Once all of the toppings are on, brush the dough and toppings lightly with olive oil.

  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes at 400ºF.
    Breadsticks will be ready when dough is cooked all of the way through and the edges start to brown.

  • While the garden breadsticks are cooking, move ahead and prepare the Black Garlic Dip.

MAKE THE BLACK GARLIC DIP

  • Begin by chopping the two cloves of regular garlic into small pieces.
  • Next, place a small pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil for one minute.
  • Add chopped garlic and cook for two minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat...make sure you do not overcook the garlic, you only want it to be slightly browned.

  • In a small bowl, mash 2 tbsp of black garlic. Add cooked garlic, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of balsamic glaze, 1/4 tsp of Italian seasoning, 1/8 tsp of sea salt, 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning. Mix until evenly combined. Set aside.

  • On a serving plate, spread one container of hummus. I like to spread it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick...but do whatever works for you!

  • Place black garlic mix in the center of the hummus and spread so about 75% of the hummus is covered (I do this because it looks nice and you are able to get black garlic with every bite).
