Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ cup warm water
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 large head garlic

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4 inch) so that the tops of the cloves are slightly exposed. Coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and wrap securely in foil.

Step 3

Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove and let sit until cool enough to handle.

Step 4

Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add chickpeas, remaining oil, water, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne; process until completely smooth.
