Roasted Garlic Hummus Recipe
I love roasted garlic hummus. I serve it to guests who have never had traditional hummus or to those who don't care for tahini in hummus. It has a rich garlic flavor that is not overwhelming - it's just right.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans (15 oz.)
  • 2 tablespoons roasted garlic
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Preparation:

In a food processor, process beans, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and oregano until desired consistency. If hummus is too thick, simply add olive oil in small increments (1/2 teaspoon) until desired consistency.

Serve roasted garlic hummus garnished with finely chopped parsley with hot pita bread, pita chips, or veggies. Roasted red pepper hummus goes very well with cubes of warm Italian bread.

Hummus can be prepared in advance up to two days if stored in airtight container in the refrigerator. To serve, heat in microwave or on stovetop.

I roasted my garlic in the toaster oven with some olive oil, salt, and a sprig of fresh rosemary, then added it to my hummus.. however I had to tweak the recipe just a bit... We LOVE garlic in our family.. and being that the garlic has a much milder flavor when roasted, I added a lot more garlic! I also added the juice from a half of a lemon.. not the 1/2 tbsp that it called for. I also (since I didn't have any oregano matured in my garden, and none in the pantry) used some ""italian'' herbs instead of the oregano... It turned out sooooo good! Went through 2 batches! (We ran out of Pita chips!) ;-) Yummy!
