Ingredients

  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 2 15 ounce cans chick peas low sodium
  • 1/2 cup aquafaba (leftover liquid from the chick pea cans)
  • 2 lemons juiced about 1/2 cup of juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Baron's Pure Tahini Sesame Paste
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbs olive oil

Instructions

  • Slice the whole garlic head, horizontally, about a quarter of the way down from the top to expose the individual cloves. Place the bulb, sitting up, on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle the entire top of the bulb with olive oil. Loosely close the foil around the garlic and place it into a preheated 400 degree oven. Roast for 40-50 minutes. The cloves will be fork tender and caramelized. Set them aside to cool a few minutes before handling.
    Remove the cloves from the head of garlic and place them in a food processor with the aquafaba, lemon juice, tahini, salt, cumin and paprika. Purée this for a while, at least a minute, to make a thick, emulsified, creamy base for the hummus.
    Add the chick peas and purée again for another minute, until the hummus is smooth.
