Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the loose papery outside skin from the garlic heads, but keep the cloves intact. Cut about 1/2 inch from top. Place the garlic cloves each in a piece of foil that's large enough to wrap around. Lightly drizzle with olive oil. Close the foil up. Bake in heated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the garlic is very soft. Remove from heat and let cool briefly, then peel.
- In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with a blade, place the roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and water. Sprinkle salt, sumac and cayenne. Blend until smooth. Be sure to add a little more water as needed, until you achieve desired smooth texture. You can also add a little more lemon juice to your taste. Taste and adjust for salt and spices.
- Spread the roasted garlic hummus in a bowl. Add a generous drizzle of quality extra virgin olive oil. Top with za'atar spice, and if you like, parsley, toasted pine nuts, and crumbled feta.
- Serve with warm pita bread or toasted crostini and assorted vegetables. Enjoy!

CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC HUMMUS
This is truly the perfect hummus, in my humble opinion. Roasting the garlic brings out its nutty and sweet flavor and cuts down on the sharpness. It's well worth the time! Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4") so that the tops of most of the cloves are exposed slightly. Coat with a little olive oil and wrap securely in tin foil. Roast garlic in oven for 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool.
- Using your fingers, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into food processor. Rinse and drain cooked or canned chickpeas. Add them, and all other ingredients, to the food processor and blend until completely smooth.
- Scrape ingredients off sides of food processor to make sure it blends evenly. If you find that the hummus is too thick, you can add additional olive oil at this time. Add it very slowly, allowing the mixture to combine fully before adding more liquid.
- Serve at room temperature with crudites, warm pita or crackers.
- Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or paprika before serving.
