    Move over, store-bought tubs of hummus! This homemade roasted garlic hummus is here and ready to take over. I've been loving hummus lately. It makes an easy snack with fresh veggies or pita wedges that keeps me full and satisfied. I also use it all the time in other recipes, like Greek Power Bowls and Greek 7 Layer Dip. Even Mr. Table loves it.

    I've never really been inclined to buy pre-made hummus much because it is just so darn easy to make at home. All you do is blend up all of your ingredients in a food processor (I use my NutriBullet) and you've got a delicious batch of hummus ready to go! And you can control everything that goes in it and adjust for your taste preferences.

    I'll let you in on a little secret. There is nothing garlic can't fix. My family seems to have a long-standing obsession with garlic. A recipe calls for a single clove of garlic? Oh honey, no. We put 5 cloves. Boom. Instantly way more delicious. And bonus: no vampires up in here. (Just kidding, but garlic does have tons of antioxidants with anticancer and cardio-protective benefits.)

    Because I love garlic so much, I almost always make a garlic version when I make hummus. I know some people who aren't accustomed to consuming as much of the good stuff as me may not want to go with raw garlic in their hummus, so roasted garlic is the perfect way to flavor your homemade hummus. Roasting the garlic brings out a smooth, caramelized flavor that is much less sharp than raw garlic. It makes this roasted garlic hummus taste incredible!

    If you're new to making homemade hummus, this roasted garlic hummus is a great place to start. You won't go back to buying store-bought hummus again!
