Roasted Garlic Hummus
This creamy and flavorful hummus recipe makes great use of expired garlic while reducing food waste. The roasting process enhances the garlic's natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves expired garlic, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap the expired garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and golden. Allow them to cool.
In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt.
