Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz chickpeas (canned or cooked)
- 1 head garlic
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp water
- 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow it to cool before handling.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned. Set aside.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a food processor.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches.
