Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 head of garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tahini (optional for creaminess)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top 1/4 inch of the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic head on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap it tightly in the foil.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Let it cool slightly before handling.
Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a food processor or blender.
Add the drained white beans, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, tahini (if using), salt, and pepper to the food processor with the roasted garlic.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, blending between additions, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Serve with crackers, veggie sticks, or slices of toasted bread. Enjoy!
