Description

This Roasted Garlic Kale Hummus combines the deep, mellow sweetness of oven-roasted garlic with nutrient-packed kale, creating a creamy and flavorful dip perfect for snacking or entertaining. Blended with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and a touch of water, this homemade hummus offers a vibrant twist on the classic recipe, ideal for serving with fresh vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.

Ingredients

Produce

  • 7 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup tightly packed kale leaves (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Canned Goods

  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Pantry

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • Olive oil for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Roast Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the cloves of garlic in foil and place them in the oven. Roast until soft, approximately 20 minutes. This process mellows the garlic’s sharpness into a rich, sweet flavor essential for the hummus.
  2. Prepare and Blend Ingredients: After removing the roasted garlic from the oven, allow it to cool down. Peel off the papery skin from the cloves and add the garlic to a blender or food processor. Add the drained chickpeas, finely chopped kale, fresh lemon juice, tahini, water, and kosher salt. Blend the mixture until smooth, leaving small bits of kale if you prefer a chunkier texture.
  3. Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil for added richness and presentation. Serve the hummus alongside fresh vegetables, crackers, pita bread, or use as a flavorful spread for sandwiches and wraps.

Notes

  • Roasting the garlic softens its punchy flavor and adds a caramelized sweetness to the hummus.
  • Adjust the water quantity if you prefer a thinner or thicker hummus consistency.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright, tangy taste.
  • This hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For added spice, consider including a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika when blending.
