Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Roast Garlic: wrap 1 head garlic in aluminum foil or parchment paper with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon butter, and a sprinkling of kosher salt and place in the oven (40-45 min at 400℉). Let cool and remove the garlic cloves of at least one whole bulb (option to add more, if you want).

Notes

- Storage - place hummus in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Yield: makes approx. 1 cup.
