Ingredients
Scale
- 1 16oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 roasted head of garlic
- 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- 2–3 tablespoons water, more as-needed
Instructions
- Roast Garlic: wrap 1-2 garlic bulbs in aluminum foil or parchment paper with olive oil, butter, and kosher salt and place in the oven (40-45 min at 400 degrees) – see full directions here. Let cool and remove the garlic cloves of at least one whole bulb (option to add more, if you want).
- Blend: combine chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, tahini, salt and water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Option to thin it out: Add additional water to thin (1 tablespoon at a time) and blend until you have reached your desired consistency. Taste and add any additional salt, as needed.
- Serve with fresh vegetables and pita bread for dipping or add to your favorite sandwich or salad!
Notes
- Garlic – we love the added flavor of roasted garlic, but you could also just toss in some minced garlic if you don’t have time to roast it.
- Storage – place hummus in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
