Roasted Garlic Hummus hits the jackpot. Watch it disappear, from Game Day parties to afternoon snack attacks. Healthy, guilt-free indulgence at its best.
Place all ingredients (except sesame seeds and paprika) in food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. Add in as much of the reserved liquid from garbanzo beans as needed to reach desired consistency. Process again until smooth. If needed, season with additional kosher salt and pepper.
Use a rubber spatula to carefully transfer hummus into serving container. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with chips, veggies, breads, or in sandwiches.
Notes
When roasting your garlic, make sure to cut off the top of the head to expose the cloves. This will allow the heat to penetrate and roast the garlic evenly.
To get the most juice out of your lemon, roll it on the counter before cutting and squeezing. This breaks down the membranes inside the lemon, releasing more juice.
When choosing tahini, look for one that's 100% pure sesame paste. This will give your hummus a rich, authentic flavor.
Don't discard the liquid from the canned garbanzo beans. This liquid, known as aquafaba, can be used to adjust the consistency of your hummus and make it creamier.
For a smoother hummus, process the ingredients in the food processor for a longer time. The longer you process, the smoother your hummus will be.
Adjust the seasonings to your taste. The recipe calls for kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, but feel free to add more or less, depending on your preference.
Garnishing your hummus with toasted sesame seeds and paprika not only makes it look more appealing but also adds a nice crunch and a hint of smokiness.
Hummus is versatile and can be served with a variety of foods. Turn it into a hummus appetizer dip, or have it with chips, veggies, bread, or even as a spread in sandwiches.
