Hi there and I hope everyone has been enjoying their week thus far.
Nothing special going on around here…Well other than this Easy Roasted Garlic Hummus.
And in case I haven’t shared this yet, Hummus just happens to be one of my all time favorite snacks.
Now even though you can buy some pretty okay Ready made hummus…there is just absolutely nothing and I mean NOTHING better than the homemade stuff.
So I got to thinking then, Why haven’t I shared this one yet? I’ve shared a couple other hummus recipes on the blog such as this one and this one.
But not a basic hummus recipe and maybe basic isn’t a good word for this so forgive me.
Cause anytime you have some roasted garlic involved you’re moving a little beyond basic.
Okay, so maybe I’m rambling along a little too much. But I wanted you to have a true understanding of how ultimately awesome this Easy Roasted Garlic Hummus is.
And if you’re a garlic lover like me then garlic is pretty much standard in most things you make.
And since I’m sharing one of my favorite dips with you it should be okay to ramble a little bit..Right?
So seriously though you have to roast some garlic and make this stuff.
Roasting garlic is really easy to do and it also makes your house smell amazing..and I mean who doesn’t like garlic?
As much as I love the flavor of raw garlic…And I do incorporate it in my diet as much as possible for the flavor and health benefits.
When you roast garlic it’s just a whole different flavor sensation, milder creamy and just plain delicious.

This looks delicious Stephanie. I’m huge fan of good healthy hummus and roasted garlic hummus sounds perfect for dipping some homemade chips 😉 My hubby will love it!
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 is always best. We just made one over the weekend – well my friend did and it was great! Like yours it has loads of yummy garlic and so I can imagine how tasty yours is, too! Love roasted garlic, too!
The hummus looks so good and I always try making them at home. Love the combination of garlic and a hint of spice in them.
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.
When garlic get roast it make another great taste. Love your garlic toasted hummus. I make hummus more often but never tried roasted garlic one. You gave me an inspiration I will try it.
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!
Hummus is soooo good! It used to be a staple for me for a long time before I had kids. I love that you made this with roasted garlic, I bet it tastes amazing.
Roasted garlic really kicks the flavor up a notch, right? I love adding it – that nutty sweetness is perfect in hummus. YUM!
We eat hummus all the time here. Making it at home is easier than people think. I love the roasted garlic here…I sometimes just eat this by the spoonful too.
I LOVE roasted garlic! I can eat them by the spoon. We eat hummus every week here – I must try this the next time I make hummus. Yum.
I love love garlic lovers.. I m smell garlic in ur dish, yum yum?
I am sure roasting the garlic adds so much to the flavor here! I absolutely love roasted garlic and haven’t done it in way too long.
So. Much. Garlic! I love it, but I may be slightly worried about my breath…nah, just bring on the garlic!
Mine too and you’re Welcome Julie 🙂

Thanks Janette!
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.
Thanks Lucy 🙂
