    Roasted garlic gives this Roasted Garlic Hummus recipe a delicious depth of flavor. It's perfect for a party or as an appetizer! I like to serve it with pita chips, but it would also be good with veggies like carrots or celery. If you're looking for a healthier option, you could even use whole wheat pita chips. This Roasted Garlic Hummus recipe is really easy to make, and it's always a hit with my guests!

This Roasted Garlic Hummus recipe is made with healthy ingredients, including roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice. The roasted garlic adds a deep flavor to the hummus, while the chickpeas and tahini add creaminess and body. The lemon juice brightens the flavor and adds acidity.

Additionally, this Roasted Garlic Hummus recipe is vegan and can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free crackers or chips.
