Directions

Hummus with a roasted garlic twist.

During the preparation time for my wedding day, as any other bride would, I worked out more and did some detoxing to lose weight.

One of the best detox plans I came across was Nikki Sharp’s 5-Day Detox.

Her detox includes a diet of 6 small vegan meals a day and drinking lots of water and green tea.

Her detox introduced me to a lot of new and healthy changes which I have adopted to my everyday life.

I started using a lot less salt, fats and sugars.

One great recipe I learned to make at home from this detox is hummus.

I’ve always loved hummus but never knew how easy it was to make myself!

Though I no longer make the detox hummus version, I think I’ve perfected a few versions of this hummus myself, especially this roasted garlic one!

Steps

Done

Roast The Garlic

Preheat your oven to 400F.

Carefully separate the garlic cloves from the bulb making sure the skins stay on then toss them into an oven safe skillet or a baking sheet and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Without the skins, the garlic will burn while roasting.

Roast the garlic for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned and soft.

After the garlic has roasted, transfer onto a paper towel lined plate and allow to cool.

Next, peel the garlic cloves and set aside.

Done

Make The Hummus

Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans then add to a food processor or blender along with the peeled garlic cloves, salt, pepper, lemon juice, tahini paste, 2 tbsp of olive oil and honey/maple syrup.

Blend until smooth then add 1 tablespoon of water then blend again. If the hummus is still not creamy enough, add another tablespoon of water and blend again.

Give the hummus a taste and adjust salt and/or pepper, if needed.

You can now store your hummus in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

If you plan on serving right away scoop it out onto a plate or bowl then drizzle with a bit of olive oil and garnish with some extra garbanzo beans, roasted garlic cloves, paprika powder and chopped parsley.

I like eating the hummus with me favorite veggies and crackers.
