Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield About 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
One 16-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
One 16-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
2 roasted red bell peppers from a jar or grilled, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
Pinch cayenne pepper (or more as desired)
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
Fresh tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Tightly wrap the head in aluminum foil and transfer it to the oven. Roast until the garlic is very soft and deep golden brown, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove 4 cloves for the dip and reserve the rest for another use.
