Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Garlic Hummus:

1 head of garlic

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt, to taste

3 to 4 tablespoons water (as needed)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Bowls:

1 cup cooked quinoa or couscous

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or mint) for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and slightly caramelized. Let cool.

    Make the Hummus: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted garlic (squeeze the cloves out of their skins), tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

      Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa or couscous. Top with generous scoops of the roasted garlic hummus.

        Add Fresh Ingredients: Arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese (if using) around the hummus.

          Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, sprinkle with fresh parsley or mint, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy your wholesome Roasted Garlic Hummus Bowls!
