Roasted Garlic Hummus

I love hummus – actually the whole family does. I try to make it often, as the kids like it as a part of their school lunch. It is very healthy, especially with fresh carrots, celery, crackers or pitas. Making hummus at home is very easy and much cheaper than buying store-bought. On top of that, there is way more flavor with homemade hummus, and you have the ability to add different ingredients to give the hummus a new twist.

Here are a couple varieties of hummus:

Spicy Chipotle Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

The hummus recipe I have today is a Roasted Garlic Hummus. It has the wonderful sweet flavor of roasted garlic. This hummus variety might just be our favorite!

If you are looking for instructions for roasting peeled garlic, I have the details here – How to Roast Peeled Garlic in the Oven. It is super easy!!

Also, while this recipe calls for can chicken peas, it is also possible to use dry chick peas. Here is a ‘how to’ – Hummus – making hummus with dry chick peas

Instead of crackers, I used Ozeri’s Pita Break One Buns. I opened them up, brushed them with olive oil and cut them into triangles. Then I baked them for about 20 minutes at 400F, or until they browned and crisped up. They worked perfectly with this hummus!

  • I love roasted garlic! There is a store bought hummus I have tried with roasted garlic which was delicious so now I can try and make my own! You must try peeling the chickpeas though, it takes a little bit of time but is worth it for a smooth taste and silky consistency. I cannot go back to unpeeled chickpeas now!
