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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the garlic is roasting, drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium or canning liquid.

Step 4

Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a food processor.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as desired, adding more lemon juice, salt, or olive oil for your preferred flavor.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers. Enjoy!
