Best Roasted Garlic Hummus
Easy Appetizer
We eat a lot of hummus in my house, so I’m happy to use this easy garlic roasted hummus recipe.
The hummus is a perfect healthy snack or can be served as part of a meal.
You’ll need to allow time for the garlic to roast, but it only takes a couple of minutes to put the hummus together after the garlic is roasted.
I use my blender for everything possible, so it is my choice for quickly making hummus nice and creamy.
If you prefer using a food processor, that will work, too.
If you don’t worry about gluten, you can serve pita bread or sangak with the hummus.
Alternatively, you can dip cucumber slices, carrots or other veggies into this flavorful, protein packed dip.
We typically finish hummus in one sitting, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Put the hummus in an airtight container and top it with extra virgin olive oil before sealing. This will keep it from drying out.
I hope you enjoy this wonderful garlic dip as much as we do!
