Roasted Garlic Hummus

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Hi Everyone, remember when I posted How To Roast Garlic?

Of course, us being “hummus lovers”, the natural extension of that is Roasted Garlic Hummus.

This would be great to use in a salad dressing, as an appetizer, or to smear on fresh-baked bread.

With this recipe I use only 1 tablespoon of tahini (I usually put up to 3 tablespoons in regular hummus), you can use more if you want but I found when I was testing the recipe that the tahini can overpower the roasted garlic flavor to the point where you only taste tahini if you add too much. So, go easy on the tahini, tahini-lovers.

One of the great things about roasted garlic is that you have all the aroma and sweetness of garlic.

Roasted garlic has that delicious caramelization to it.

Another option is adding a small clove of fresh garlic to add back in the “bite” of the garlic if that’s what you love in garlic flavor.

I chose not to for this recipe but my husband Eric loves having some of the fresh garlic to give it that “spicy bite” aspect.

Ingredients

1 15 ounces can of chickpeas, drained (save the chickpea canning water to adjust consistency)
4 or more roasted garlic cloves, plus more for topping/garnishing, see How To Roast Garlic
1 tablespoon tahini
1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or amount to taste
a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (1 tablespoon)
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, optional, or amount to taste

Kitchen Tools

food processor
small colander for draining the chickpeas and collecting the canning water
wet measure to collect the chickpea water
baking spatula
spoon

Web Story

Eric and I have been trying to get more garlic into our diets for its heart-healthy benefits and this is an easy and flavorful way to do it.
