- 1 bulb garlic
- 1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 2 cups cooked chickpeas)
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Cut the very top off of the bulb of garlic (about 1/4 inch) until just the very tips of the garlic cloves are exposed. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake 30 minutes or until garlic is soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and unwrap garlic. Let cool.
- Squeeze garlic cloves out of skin into a food processor or blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. You may need to add more water to get a smooth consistency.
- Serve with crudités or pita bread.
