Tips & Tricks:

Chickpeas: Peel your chickpeas! Once you have rinsed your can of chickpeas place them between 2 towels. using the towel rub the chickpeas to loosen the outer shell. You can also individually peel each chickpea though this will take some time. You can skip this step completely it will just make a smoother hummus.
Blending: Make sure to blend your hummus for a decent amount of time. Streaming in the olive oil and adding water if the mixture is too thick.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 weeks.
Eqipment: I used a mini kitchen aid food processor to create this recipe.

How To Roast Your Garlic:

Roasted garlic is super simple. Chop the top off of a head of garlic and place it on a piece of tin foil. Add a tbsp of olive oil (make sure to get oil on each of the exposed bulbs) and wrap it up in the foil.

Bake in the oven for 35-45 mins, at 400F until its nice and golden. Make sure to let it cool completely before you add it to the hummus. Once Cooled you should be able to squeeze the garlic right out of the casings.
