Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 15oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • juice from half a lemon
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 Tbsp chives
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp ice cold water
  • pomegranate arils, parsley and chives for garnish
  • baby carrots, bell peppers, crackers for serving

Instructions

How to roast the garlic:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F. Peel off the loose outer layers of the head of garlic. Slice off about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic head. Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over and cover the bulb with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool, and use half of the roasted cloves for the dip. Save the other half in the fridge for another recipe or for spreading onto toasty bread!

For the hummus:

  1. Add the roasted garlic, beans, tahini, lemon juice, baby spinach, parsley, chives, garlic powder, salt, 2 Tbsp of olive oil and 1 Tbsp cold water to a food processor. Puree until smooth, adding the rest of the olive oil through the lid of the processor.

  2. Garnish with pomegranate arils, more parsley and chives. Serve with crackers and fresh veggies.
