Bread dipping oil has become a staple appetizer in many restaurants, and now it can be created at home. This recipe takes the classic bread dipping oil recipe and adds a unique twist with the use of sweet potato and garlic. The roasted sweet potato adds a creamy texture to the oil, while the garlic provides a pungent flavor that complements the olive oil perfectly. This recipe is perfect for any meal and can be enjoyed with any type of bread.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.	Cut a sweet potato into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3.	Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated.
4.	Sprinkle the tuscany seasoning over the sweet potato and mix again.
5.	Spread the sweet potato out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
6.	Place the garlic cloves (with skin still on) in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil, making sure all cloves are coated.
7.	Roast the sweet potato and garlic in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender and garlic is soft.
8.	Remove the garlic from the oven and let cool slightly. Once cooled, remove the skin from the garlic and add to a small mixing bowl.
9.	Pour 1 cup of olive oil over the garlic and use a fork to mash the garlic into the oil, mixing well.
