Roasted Garlic Hummus a Treat for Garlic Lovers

This Roasted Garlic Hummus is an easy and healthy vegan dip that is perfect for any party or alongside your favorite Mediterranean dishes.

Hummus is a wonderfully adaptive dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients and additions (like this Beet Hummus recipe). It is great as a dip or a spread 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.
