Ingredients​

• 2 heads garlic
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 can chickpeas 15 oz
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 lemon juice of
• 3 cubes ice

Instructions​

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the top part of the garlic heads so the cloves show. Place each head on a piece of aluminum foil and top with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil for later.
• Wrap the garlic heads with aluminum foil, place them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes until the cloves are tender.
• While the garlic is roasting, rinse and drain the chickpeas and place them in a small saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. This step is optional, but it makes canned chickpea more tender which would result in creamier hummus.
• Place the chickpeas, tahini, salt and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Squeeze out the garlic and add it to the chickpeas.
• Blend until mixed and smooth, adding the ice cubes one at a time.
• Spread the roasted garlic hummus in a bowl and top with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sumac if desired.

Notes​

• You can cook dry chickpeas instead of using canned chickpeas to make hummus. They take longer to cook so plan accordingly.
• Roasted garlic has a subtle sweet flavor and is not as strong, therefore this dip doesn't taste garlicky.
• Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To serve, top with more olive oil.
