If you look in our fridge, you'll always find hummus. We've been eating it for years and love it with Kim's homemade flatbread.

A few years back, we decided to starting making it at home. Because, our local grocery store stopped carrying Kim's favorite variety.

She really enjoys everything hummus flavored with everything bagel spices. However, I'm a huge fan of roasted garlic hummus.

For today's recipe, we're sharing our homemade roasted garlic hummus recipe.

It mimics store-bought varieties and goes perfectly with soft, chewy naan or pita bread.

How long does homemade hummus last?

Typically, a homemade hummus lasts about 3-4 days in your refrigerator. As long as you store it in a sealed container.

How do I make roasted garlic?

First, grab a whole bulb (head) of garlic. Don't worry about peeling it.

Next, take a knife and cut off the top ¼ of the bulb. Then, drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and wrap the bulb in aluminum foil. Preheat your oven to 425° F.

Last, place the garlic into the oven. Let it roast for about 30-minutes. Once it's done, squeeze the roasted cloves onto a plate and discard the skins. That's it!

How to make roasted garlic hummus?

To begin, open the can of chickpeas and drain them. I would rinse them at least once and then drain them again.

Canned chickpeas with the skins removed.

Next, pour the chickpeas into the food processor. Add the tahini, fresh squeezed lemon juice, roasted garlic, and salt.

After that, pulse the homemade hummus a few times to combine everything.

Open the appliance and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the processor.

Chickpeas, tahini, and other ingredients in a food processor.

Now, drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of water and pulse the ingredients again to make sure everything blends. It should only take about 60 seconds.

Then, slowly drizzle in the olive oil while pulsing the mixture for another minute or two. For a thinner hummus, add an extra tablespoon of water.

Last, transfer the roasted garlic hummus to a bowl and serve it with flatbread, naan or pita bread, or sliced veggies or carrot sticks.

That's it, your homemade roasted garlic hummus recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy this snack and wish you all the best 🙂

    This delicious! I was wondering if you have ever added jalepeno? Could you add pepper itself or just the juice? Also, we did not peel and the bit of texture is not bad! Thanks for sharing!

      Thank you so much! We're glad you liked the hummus! I actually have made it with jalapeno and cilantro. Either fresh or pickled jalapenos work, and omit the cilantro if you aren't a fan. Adjust the heat by using more or less jalapenos. You could use the jalapeno juice, too, just watch the consistency so the hummus isn't too thin. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
