Are you craving a creamy, flavorful vegan dip to pair with your favorite veggies or pita chips? This Roasted Garlic Hummus dip combines the classic combination of chickpeas and tahini with nutty mellow garlic and a pinch of heat for a delightful blend you will make again and again.
Read on to learn how to make this delectable dip in just a few simple steps, and impress your friends and family with the fabulous flavor.
Hummus is a wonderfully adaptive dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients and additions. It is great as a dip or a spread on a sandwich like mayonnaise.
Roasted garlic is a wondrous thing, even if it takes a little time to prepare. The roasting processes gives it a delightfully mellow nutty taste.
You can roast the garlic in advance while preparing other roasted vegetables or dishes in the oven then store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container covered in olive oil for up to one week.
I have a garlic roaster like this one I received as a gift. But the aluminum foil method listed below works just as well. It's just not as decorative.
