Roasted Garlic Hummus

By pdotson June 9, 2012

We are really trying to get away from "white" dips at our house and we like hummus but it is hard to get a lot of flavor in the store bought stuff so I thought I would make my own. And like about everything else it is so much better homemade. I had cooked my own chickpeas but you can use canned. I really like cherry tomatoes and carrots dipped in hummus. This really took less than 5 minutes to make, not counting roasted the garlic, but I roast lots at once so that was not a big issue to me.

Ingredients

Chickpeas - 1 can (or homemade)
Roasted Garlic - 1 bulb
Salt - 1 tsp
Pepper - 1 tsp
Olive Oil - 2 TBS
Juice of Lemon - 1
Olive Oil and Paprika to Top before Serving

Instructions

Throw the first 6 items in a food processor or magic bullet and blend this very very smooth. Then I added a little drizzle of olive oil and some paprika on top before serving.

We would love for you to follow us on.
