Another day, another hummus dip, y’all! This time, cooked chickpeas—skins removed for a smoother dip—share the glory with two heads of garlic! If you have any Mediterranean blood in you, garlic probably doesn’t scare you. But if you just screamed, THAT’S LOTS OF GARLIC! Hear me out.
Why this Roasted Garlic Hummus Recipe works?
Do not fear the garlic! Once roasted, garlic’s irritating pungency is replaced with a rich, sweet, and smoky flavor. And here, it lends it’s glorious flavor to the neutral-tasting chickpeas. Add in earthy tahini, and a little zing from sumac and za’atar…Heaven!
Should you peel the skins off chickpeas?
Now, removing the chickpea skins, as I do in this tutorial, may seem a little persnickety. It’s the way to go if you want a silky-smooth roasted garlic hummus. Not feeling it? Be the daredevil who could care less and just leave the chickpea skins on (case in point, my roasted red pepper hummus.) You’ll have a rougher, more rustic dip. Delicious, still.
Quick Tip for make ahead
One awesome tip that saves a ton of time, espeically if you love roasted garlic and plan to use it to jazz up salads, dips etc. Roast a bunch of garlic in advance and store it so it’s ready for use. Check out my post How to Roast Garlic and How to Store for all the details.
