Double Roasted Garlic Hummus with Pine Nuts

This creamy double roasted garlic hummus is made with canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and toasted pine nuts for a rich, nutty flavor. It’s smooth, savory, and perfect as a dip, spread, or side dish.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 heads of garlic, roasted
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
• Salt to taste
• 4-8 tablespoons water (as needed)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Hummus:
   • In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, pine nuts, and a pinch of salt.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
2. Serve:
   • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
   • Drizzle with extra olive oil and sprinkle with paprika if desired.
   • Garnish with additional toasted pine nuts if you like.
