Roasted Garlic Hummus

Description
Delicious roasted garlic goodness makes this hummus exceptional. There’s just something about all this golden goodness that makes everything you dip into it taste better.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) High Quality Garbanzo Beans (a.k.a. Chickpeas), Drained (See Note)
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1-½ Tablespoon Tahini (You Can Find This Almost Everywhere Now - Even At Walmart)
- ½ heads Roasted Garlic (See Note)
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cummin
- ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ cups (Up To 1/3 Cups) Olive Oil
Preparation
It’s sooo simple. In a blender or food processor, puree all of the above ingredients. If you want the hummus really creamy, blend longer and add more olive oil.
* Note about the garbanzo beans: The quality of the beans really makes a difference. I’ve made this a few times with a can of generic garbanzo beans and the hummus tends to turn out grainier. With a can of higher quality beans, the hummus is smooth and creamy.
* Note: To roast the garlic, slice a head of garlic in half, then douse it with olive oil. Wrap it in foil and roast at 350 F for 45 minutes.

This was a hit with me and my whole family…plus, some kids that are staying with us for the week! SOOOO good and so easy to make. Thank you!!

I just made this. Let’s just say I’ll never buy the “stuff” from the store ever again. This was so easy, so good, and used what I had on hand (I bought tahini a while ago just for this). The red pepper added a nice kick and roasting the garlic was well worth it. It tasted great with pita chips! Thanks for a winner!

To MS Hospitality – Hummus usually keeps for about a week, in my experience. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container. When you’re ready to serve it, just stir it up with a fork (add more oil if dry), transfer into a nice bowl, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkly with a little cumin or paprika.
Thanks for this recipe! I made some hummus the other day and it was so garlicky that we couldn’t eat it. It didn’t occur to me to roast the garlic first! Clever!

How long can I keep this in the fridge before serving? Hosting a party and need to cook ahead.
Thanks!
