Roasted Garlic Hummus (Better than Store-Bought)
Creamy, thick, and full of sweet roasted garlic flavor, this easy homemade Roasted Garlic Hummus is perfect for dipping, spreading, or serving with pita and fresh vegetables.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice from 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole head roasted garlic cloves squeezed out
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons aquafaba liquid from the can
Instructions
- Add the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, roasted garlic, salt, cumin, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend for 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
- Add the chickpeas and process for 2–3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the aquafaba and continue blending for another 2–3 minutes until the hummus is smooth, thick, and creamy. If it's too thick to blend, add 1 teaspoon of aquafaba at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
- Spread the hummus onto a serving plate and use the back of a spoon to make swirls. Drizzle with olive oil, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley, roasted garlic, and a sprinkle of sumac, if desired.
Notes
- Don't add water or ice cubes.
- Use just enough aquafaba to help the mixture blend.
- Chill the hummus for 30 minutes before using if you want it even thicker.
