Roasted Garlic Hummus

Roasted garlic hummus - sometimes it's the simple things that bring the most satisfaction.

This is a recipe redo! Originally posted in 2013, this hummus hasn't changed for me - an easy, garlic-packed dip for dunking seedy crackers and crunchy vegetables. There are so many brands of high quality hummus on the market, but making your own always tastes better, you know?

This recipe has a large amount of flexibility in that you don't need to follow the ingredients list exactly. It's up to you and your taste and preferences. Two heads of garlic may seem excessive but roasting the bulbs makes them sweet and mellow. To be honest, you could probably add a third bulb...

Legumes are a nutrition powerhouse packed full of protein, iron, magnesium and folate. They are high in B vitamins, a good source of carbohydrates and fibre and make a great addition to a healthy diet. Legumes, or pulses, can help you feel fuller for longer. If you're new to legumes, what better way to enjoy them then in dip form with lots of garlic.
