Description
A creamy and flavorful roasted garlic hummus perfect for dipping!
Ingredients
Scale
- 15 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/3 cup prepared tahini
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 2 heads roasted garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the top 1/2″ off two garlic bulbs.
- Place bulbs and tops on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with canola or olive oil.
- Bring sides up and seal like a packet.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until garlic is brown, soft, and fragrant.
- Remove cloves by squeezing the bulb upside down or use a paring knife to ease them out.
- Place chickpeas in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp water.
- Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Place the hummus ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor or blender and process for 1 minute.
- Scrape down the sides and process for an additional 1 minute.
- If it’s too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until desired consistency. It will thicken as it stands. It should slowly flow off a spoon.
- Test for seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed.
- Chill for 30 minutes and serve cold.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Add additional olive oil for a richer flavor.
