Black Bean Hummus

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Cut the tip off of the shallot and place on a piece of aluminum foil. Pour olive oil over the shallot and then tightly seal the sides of the aluminum foil to form a ball.

Place the shallot in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the black beans, lime, cilantro, tahini, water, olive oil, garlic, pepper, and spices in a food processor.

When the shallot is finished roasting, add it into the food processor as well and pulse until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

Enjoy!
