Ingredients

15 Oz - Canned Chickpeas
2 Tbsps - Water
⅓ Cups - Prepared Tahini
3 Tbsps - Olive Oil
½ - Lemon
2 Heads - Roasted Garlic
1 Tsp - Salt
½ Tsps - Black Pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the top 1/2" off two garlic bulbs.
Place bulbs and tops on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with canola or olive oil.
Bring sides up and seal like a packet.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until garlic is brown, soft, and fragrant.
Remove cloves by squeezing the bulb upside down or use a paring knife to ease them out.
Place chickpeas in a microwave safe bowl with 2 tbsp water.
Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Place the hummus ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor or blender and process for 1 minute.
Scrape down the sides and process for an additional 1 minute.
If it's too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until desired consistency. It will thicken as it stands. It should slowly flow off a spoon.
Test for seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed.
Chill for 30 minutes and serve cold.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
