Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Place unpeeled garlic cloves in the middle of a large square of aluminum foil. Drizzle cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil; wrap in foil.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Squeeze roasted garlic out of the peels into a food processor. Add garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Process until very creamy.

Tips

Use about 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley or mint for a fresh herby taste, or try adding 1 teaspoon of curry or paprika. Get crazy — hummus is amazingly versatile!

For a Tuscan-style hummus, substitute great northern beans for the garbanzos and add fresh basil.
