Recipe
Oven-roasted whole garlic is an effortless and tasty way to refresh various familiar recipes. When cooked slowly in the oven, garlic caramelizes and loses its inherent sharpness. Moreover, it acquires a delicate, rich flavor that makes it an excellent addition to virtually any dish. Because the vegetable softens, you can add it to sauces or bread spreads. We recommend using it to make an incredibly delicious homemade roasted garlic hummus.
Roasted garlic easily replaces sesame paste in hummus. At the same time, the dish acquires a rich garlic note, which does not disrupt the taste of other ingredients. You can serve this healthy plant-based dip to guests who have not yet tried traditional hummus, or to those who don’t particularly enjoy sesame in dishes.
