Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 425 grams Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 60 grams Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, wrap the bulb tightly in aluminum foil, and roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the garlic is soft and caramelized.
While the garlic is roasting, drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium or canning liquid.
Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a food processor.
To the food processor, add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt. Blend the mixture until it starts to come together.
With the food processor running, drizzle in the cold water 1 tablespoon at a time to achieve a silky smooth consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides of the processor as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more lemon juice, salt, or olive oil for your preferred flavor.
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley, if desired. You can also drizzle a little more olive oil on top for a finishing touch.
Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers. Enjoy!
