Are you looking for some healthier apps for game day? In planning our Super Bowl Menu (b/c for me, it’s all about the food and commercials!), I thought this Roasted Garlic Hummus would make a perfect addition. I’m not a fan of beans in general, but I have found that I love hummus and other recipes with chickpeas. I also discovered with this recipe how easy it is to make hummus at home! Now the flavor combos are endless.
It may look a little bland and boring, but the roasted garlic makes this anything but! Â Garlic takes on a whole new flavor dimension when roasted.
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Ingredients
- 1 can garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 bulb roasted garlic
- juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- Red pepper flakes/hot sauce/sriracha to taste; optional
Instructions
- Squeeze the garlic cloves from the bulb of roasted garlic.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Serve with additional red pepper flakes or hot sauce or sriracha on top.
I keep the spice down on mine since my middle child loves hummus too, but you can make this as spicy as you like. Â Hummus makes a great dip for crackers and veggies, and is something I feel good about eating and serving.
