I LOVE hummus, I mean who doesn’t right? This mediterranean dish is popular all over the world and we all know why, its delicious! Hummus is packed with protein, heart-healthy fats, and fiber. Its a staple in my fridge, and perfect for substituting mayo, and as a dip for fresh cut veggies. Instead of store bought hummus, check out this simple recipe you can whip up in minutes.
Roasted Garlic:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (a toaster oven works just as good). Peel and discard the extra papery outer part of the garlic, and slice 1/4 inch off the top of the head. Drizzle a little olive oil over the tops of the head and wrap the garlic tight in a piece of tin foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes. You know the garlic is done when the garlic is soft to the touch (please use oven mitts, its hot). Let it cool, then use your fingers to squeeze the garlic cloves from there skins.
