Ingredients
  

1 head of garlic

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish

Salt and pepper, to taste

3-4 tablespoons water (or more for desired consistency)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and set aside.

    Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

      Blend Until Smooth: Turn on the food processor and blend the mixture until it is creamy and smooth. If it seems too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices according to your preference.

          Serve: Transfer the creamy roasted garlic hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and top with fresh parsley.

            Enjoy: Serve with pita bread, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches. Enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness!
