Roasted Garlic and White Bean Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 head of garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons water (or more as needed)
• Chopped parsley for garnish
• Pita chips or fresh vegetables for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Cut off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place the garlic head on a small piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the foil around the garlic head to enclose it.

3. Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.

4. Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and let it cool slightly.

5. In a food processor or blender, combine the white beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the food processor.

6. Pulse the mixture, gradually adding water as needed, until a smooth and creamy hummus texture is achieved.

7. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil.

8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with pita chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.
