Simply Roasted Garlic Hummus
What it is
This is a smooth and creamy dip made from mashed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, and roasted garlic. The roasting process mellows the sharp bite of raw garlic, bringing out a deeper, sweeter flavor that complements the earthy chickpeas and nutty tahini. It's a popular choice for those who enjoy a more complex and savory hummus profile.
