How to make roasted garlic Parmesan hummus
For the roasted garlic
Get started by preheating your oven to 400° F. then, cut approximately ½ inch of the top of a bulb of garlic to expose the cloves inside. Peel away any loose papery layers.
Place the garlic bulb on a piece of foil and drizzle olive oil onto the exposed cloves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pull up sides of foil and seal up the garlic bulb package.
Roast garlic for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow garlic to cool for about 10 minutes before handling.
For the hummus
Once the garlic has cooled, add chickpeas, Parmesan cheese (or vegan Parmesan), lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, salt and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl of a food processor.
Carefully squeeze out each garlic clove into the food processor, reserving 3-5 cloves for garnish.
Blend on high, slowly adding olive oil until dip reaches a creamy, smooth consistency.
Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with reserved garlic cloves, as well as additional freshly ground pepper, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least one hour to overnight.
Now, dig in...I mean dip in, and enjoy! 🙂
