    Roasted garlic hummus is the silky, deeply savory dip that California cafés made famous — chickpeas blended with roasted garlic, tahini, and lemon until impossibly smooth. It’s the ultimate snack, sandwich spread, and party starter.

    The silky café classic

    Chickpeas blended with roasted garlic, tahini, and lemon until perfectly smooth — the classic California hummus.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic, drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and roast 40 minutes until soft. Squeeze out the cloves.
    2. Blend the chickpeas, roasted garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and salt.
    3. With the blender running, add the ice water and blend 2-3 minutes until silky.
    4. Taste and adjust the lemon and salt.
    5. Spread in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, dust with paprika, and serve with pita and vegetables.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Roast a whole head of garlic until golden and sweet — it transforms the flavor. Blend for a full 2-3 minutes for that impossibly smooth texture.
