 Ingredients ♥

3 cups cooked fresh garbanzo beans or 2 (15 oz) cans of cooked beans

½ tsp cumin
½ onion finely chopped

1. Preheat oven to 375. Take raw garlic and chop the top off. Place the top and bottom on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap foil completely around garlic creating a packet. Place packet on baking sheet and roast for 35 min. Allow to cool slightly when finished roasting.

2. Pull or squeeze the cloves of roasted garlic out of the skins and toss in the food processor. Then add garbanzo beans, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder,tahini and cumin in food processor and blend until completely smooth. Taste to see if it needs more lemon or salt.
