Ingredients
- 1 large head of garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2-14 ounce ounce cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoon EACH: tahini and lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon each: sea salt and pepper
- 4-5 tablespoons cold water
- Olive oil, reserved roasted garlic cloves + chickpeas, and minced parsley to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the heads of garlic in half. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and then wrap the garlic in aluminum foil. Roast for 40-45 mins, until the garlic is soft.
- Roughly remove the chickpea skins by rolling them between 2 sheets of paper towel. (This will help with the creaminess. You don’t need to be too picky but it’s worth the extra 2 minutes!)
- Reserve a few garlic cloves and chickpeas serving. Then, place the rest of the garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in your blender or food processor and blend until it is mostly smooth, about 3 minutes. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus is super smooth. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
- Transfer the roasted garlic hummus to a serving bowl and top with a little olive oil, the reserved roasted garlic, a few chickpeas, and some minced parsley.
