Roasted Garlic Hummus 

Roasted Garlic Hummus.

This recipe can be substituted with raw garlic, but when roasting the garlic, it caramelizes and adds a deliciously sweet and mellow complexity and depth to the hummus. The prep is minimal and is so worth the effort!

I use this hummus as a dip on its own, in my Roasted Cauliflower with Hummus Yogurt Dip or as a base for my Loaded Hummus with Air Fryer Harissa Sausage Balls.

What can I do with the Leftover Roasted Garlic?

• Do not worry about having leftovers. Once roasted, the garlic mellows into a sweet, caramelized spreadable treat that can be used in mashed potatoes, spread on toast, added into hamburger patties, added into guacamole, and can be substituted into a variety of recipes that call for raw garlic.
• Roasted garlic can be stored in an airtight container for 3-5 days. In our house it gets used way before the five days!
