Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large garlic bulb
  • ¼ cup olive oil plus 1 teaspoon
  • 1 15 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F
  • Peel away any loose outer skin from the garlic head, then slice off about ¼ inch of the top to expose the cloves. Place the head cut-side up on a piece of foil, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap loosely, leaving a small opening at the top.
  • Set the wrapped garlic bulb on a baking sheet and roast for 45 to 50 minutes, until the tips are golden and the cloves are soft. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Make the Hummus

  • While the garlic roasts, drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Give them a good shake to help loosen the skins. Remove as many skins as you can. The more you remove, the creamier your hummus.
  • Once the garlic has cooled, squeeze the bulb to pop the roasted cloves out.
  • Add the chickpeas to a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
  • Add the roasted garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and salt. Place the cover on and while the food processor is running, pour the olive oil through the shoot.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:
*If you are using a blender and not a food processor. Add the olive oil with the remaining ingredients and blend until creamy. 
**If for some reason your hummus is a little dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired texture. 
Storage
Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
