    This Roasted Garlic Hummus is easy to make in the food processor in minutes. And roasted garlic that is caramelized and slightly sweet is the perfect addition to this hummus recipe. A healthy snack that's vegan, gluten free and easy.

    Hummus is one of my go to easy snacks. Since it's made using only a few ingredients that I usually have on hand.

    Garlic hummus is one of our favorite additions to a classic hummus. But we also really love this black-eyed pea hummus recipe.

    Roasting the garlic brings out the sweet mellow flavors and compliments hummus perfectly!

    How to roast garlic

    There are several methods you can use to roast garlic, whether it's in the oven, instant pot or even an air fryer.

    I normally would roast it in the oven but, have experimented with making it in the instant pot! So much easier than turning on the hot oven.

    So if you're looking to save time and have an instant pot I would recommend trying that. You can find out how to do that in the recipe card below.

    Ingredients for garlic hummus

    garbanzo beans, lemon juice, roasted garlic, tahini, olive oil.

    How to make it

    1. Add the garbanzo beans and remaining ingredients to a food processor.
    2. Pulse until creamy and smooth.

    Recipe notes & tips

    You can remove the skins for a creamier hummus but it's not necessary. I sometimes do if I'm not in a hurry to make it.

    Gradually add in the water based on how creamy you like your hummus.

    Hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    What to serve with hummus

    You can serve it with crackers, tortilla chips, pita bread or cut up veggies.

    It's also great spread on a wrap or top it on a salad.

      Oh, this looks so good! I can just taste the sweet, mellow garlic flavour. That's my favourite thing about roasted garlic - it gets sweet and the pungency is reduced. This hummus is a winner for sure!

      I love garlic! I wish that I had a perfume that smelled like garlic, onions, and olive oil simmering on the stove. I don't really get a lot of mosquito bites and all my friends do and I swear it is because I eat so much garlic!! This hummus looks great and I know I will be diving in with all that roasted sweet garlic in it!

      My husband can't have enough of hummus, he demolishes it every single time we have some in the fridge. The roasted garlic flavour can only make it even tastier. A perfect appetizer for any occasion!

      Homemade humus is the best. My family loves garlic hummus I make it regularly because aside from being tasty is a wholesome option for snacking or to serve as appetizer.

      You have just taken the hummus to a different level by adding the roasted garlic. I love hummus and can get my kids to eat any veggie with the hummus. The roasted garlic would make them even more excited.

      I love that you roasted the garlic. It makes milder hummus, and so easy to use as an ingredient or on it's own as a dip.

      I love dips! When the weather gets hot, we might have just a dip and some veggies, crackers, etc dunked in it for supper. Light, tasty and delicious! My husband swears he hates chickpeas, but he sure can eat the heck out of hummus ... I've never told him the secret ingredient!

      With roasted garlic, that's brilliant! I bet your hummus would go well with a chicken sesame schnitzel, a tomato capsicum onion salad and lemon dressing. perfect summer food!

      Ok, so there's basic hummus and then there is this, which is far from basic. The roasted garlic sounds wonderful. I can't wait to try this out.
