I can eat my weight in hummus. Daily. This Vegan Garlic Hummus Recipe makes that easy. Which is good. And not good. Anyway, body image conflicts aside, if you like to eat a boatload of tasty hummus, too, this is the recipe for you.
The first order of business is roasting the garlic. Garlic can be pretty bitter when raw but something magical happens when it’s roasted. It’s still garlicky, but so very mild and buttery. I roast whole heads of garlic at a time, too. Here’s a link to my post How To Roast Garlic.
OK, got the roasted garlic? Let’s make hummus!
