Creamy Roasted Garlic Hummus

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 bulb garlic

  split in half, roasted and skinned
• 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 30 oz chickpeas

  (2 cans) drained
• ⅓ cup pourable sesame tahini
• 2 lemons

  juiced
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp za'atar

Instructions

• 1 First, roast the garlic. To do this, split an entire bulb of garlic in half with
  the peel on. Place in the middle of a 8x8 square of aluminum foil and drizzle
  with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Fold the sides up to enclose the garlic and oil in a
  package so that It all stays inside. Place the package in a pan to ensure the
  oil will not drip inside your oven and cause a fire. Bake at 400 for 30-40
  minutes until the garlic is soft and golden. remove from oven and let cool.
• 2 Next, once garlic is cool, open the cans and drain the chickpeas. Place them in
  the blender.
• 3 Remove the roasted garlic's skin by simply squeezing the bulbs. All of the
  cloves should exit the skins easily that way. Then add the roasted garlic to the
  blender.
• 4 Add the lemon, tahini, 3 tbsp olive oil and salt
• 5 Blend until smooth and creamy.
• 6 Top with 1 tbsp extra drizzle of olive oil and za'atar spice
