Ingredients

400 g Chickpeas tin, drained and rinsed
1 bulb Garlic large
3 tbsp Tahini
1 Lemon juiced
4 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin
½ tsp Ground cumin
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast for 35–40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins.
Add the chickpeas, roasted garlic cloves, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper into your blender or food processor. The blender makes quick work of this, giving a smooth and creamy texture.
If the hummus seems too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time and blend until it reaches your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Spoon into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped parsley if you like. Serve with flatbreads, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
