Roasted Garlic Hummus

This super garlicky hummus is great on sandwiches and wraps, or as a dip for raw vegetables. I bet you knew I would say that! By roasting the garlic before adding it to this hummus, you get a sweeter flavor in the final product. If raw garlic isn’t your thing, simply omit.

What You Need:

1 – 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained but not rinsed (reserve 2 Tbs canning liquid)
¼ cup tahini
2 heads roasted garlic, recipe follows
2 small cloves raw garlic (to taste)
Juice of half a lemon
2 Tbs juice from canned beans
1/8 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/8 tsp kosher salt



What To Do:

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
