Ingredients

1 bulb garlic, medium in size
salt & pepper to taste (for the garlic)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (for the garlic)
1 (15 oz.) can no salt added chickpeas / garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
5 tablespoons grated vegetarian Parmesan cheese (for the vegan option, use ¼ cup grated or shredded vegan Parmesan)
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (and additional for garnish, if desired)
3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F.
Cut approximately ½ inch of the top of a bulb of garlic to expose the cloves inside and peel away any loose papery layers. Place the garlic bulb on a piece of foil and drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil onto the exposed cloves. Season with salt and pepper to taste and then 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.
Add chickpeas, Parmesan cheese (or vegan Parmesan), lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Carefully squeeze out garlic cloves into the food processor, reserving 3-5 cloves for garnish.
Blend until smooth and creamy on high speed, slowly adding the 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil as you go and occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl of the food processor to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed and hummus is smooth (approximately 3 minutes).
Transfer to serving dish and garnish with reserved garlic cloves, chopped if desired. Garnish with additional freshly ground pepper, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least one hour to overnight.
