Roasted Garlic Hummus

Roasted garlic hummus is the best twist on classic hummus, with slightly sweet roasted garlic replacing raw for a gentler, more mild dip.

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic skin on
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas or a 15 oz. can, plus a few to garnish
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt less if using canned beans

Instructions

  • Begin by cutting the top off the head of garlic and drizzle it with a little oil. Wrap it in foil and roast it in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 35-40 minutes.
    1 head garlic
  • Once the garlic is cooked and cooled, peel it by gently squeezing the bulb. The cloves should pop out.
  • Add the chickpeas, tahini, all of the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and oil to a food processor or Vitamix and blend with enough water to make a spreadable consistency. I always start with 2 tablespoons of water and add a little more as needed. Add salt and adjust to taste.
    ¼ cup tahini, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas, ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.

Notes

Garnish: add a handful of chickpeas, a pinch smoked paprika, a pinch black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
If you love garlic, try roasting 2 heads for a big garlic flavour.
