Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 garlic bulbs roasted (+ oil for roasting)
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed (about 1/2 lemon juice)
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water (start with 3)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F/205°C. Peel off loose paper from garlic bulbs. Cut the top quarter inch off of the bulbs so that the inner flesh of each clove is showing. Place on top of aluminum foil, wrapping it around the bulbs. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the tops and completely wrap in foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until garlic bulbs are golden brown and soft. Set aside until easy to handle.
- Add chickpeas, oil, lemon juice, three tablespoons of cold water, cumin, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Squeeze roasted garlic out of the bulbs' papery outer shell into the food processor and blend until nice and smooth and fully incorporated. (If needed, add another tablespoon of cold water and pulse.)
- Serve with pita bread, veggies, and more.
Notes
Nutrition For Mental Health
Here at Raepublic we dive into how nutrition can positively impact mental health. One cup of cooked chickpeas contains 14.5 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, and 45 grams of carbohydrates (12.5 grams of fiber). They are rich in manganese, folate, copper, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. Garbanzo beans are also a good source of magnesium, thiamine, selenium, potassium, and vitamin D6. A cross-sectional study in Japan found that low intake of manganese, zinc, and copper was associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Storage Tips
When you make homemade garlic hummus without tahini, like any hummus, it needs to be kept refrigerated. An airtight container will help you keep it for up to 5 days. You could also freeze it, but I find it always tastes best when it’s fresh.
