This is an amazing Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus I’ve been making for the last year or so. I just don’t think I could be vegan if hummus didn’t exist – there, I’ve said it!
Hummus is such a great plant-based food – it is delicious, creamy, healthy and filling. I love that it is quick and easy to prepare and you can eat it with so many different foods like veggies (I like to have it with cucumbers, carrots, celery sticks or tomatoes) or pita bread.
Traditionally, hummus is made with chickpeas but I like to experiment with different bases for my hummus. In this recipe, I put white beans to the test, with a delicious result. This recipe is so easy to make. I combine roasted garlic with a can of white beans, tahini and lemon juice to make a creamy, smooth and flavorful hummus. Yum!
To make my version of Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus, you will need the following ingredients:So, how do you make Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus?
Preheat the oven to 400 ºF.
Peel off the outer layers of the garlic until the cloves are visible. Use a knife to cut the top 1/4-1/2 inch of garlic bulb off. This will open up the top of each clove so that the they are slightly exposed. Make sure each clove stays attached at the root.
Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the open cloves. Wrap the garlic bulb in the foil.
Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes. When it is done, the garlic should be soft and aromatic. Remove from the oven and open the foil and allow the garlic to cool.
Place the beans, tahini, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil to a food processor. Once the garlic is cool enough to touch, squeeze in the roasted garlic cloves.
Blend the mixture together. While the machine is blending, pour in cold water to loosen the hummus to your desired consistency. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with olive oil.
Serve with veggies (like cucumbers, carrots, celery sticks, tomatoes) or pita bread. This hummus will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.
