Hummus is such a great appetizer. We usually like to make it spicy. Lately, we've been trying different flavor combos and they've all been wonderful. Now, I can't decide which one is my favorite! 😀 I know most people say they would never decide on their "favorite" child. ... But I can't say that, don't tell Amy and Josh, they both think they're my favorite...... I really like the dogs the best. Haha!!!! 😆
The base is almost the same for all recipes. Only a few different ingredients adds so many possibilities for a very delicious appetizer.

Roasted Garlic
I have to say, I love Roasted Garlic!!!! We use it in several of our recipes. If you haven't roasted garlic yet, I highly recommend making one. It takes no time. Just cut the top of the garlic off, drizzle on some olive oil, and bake for an hour. It adds a savory boost to almost any dish..... I wouldn't add it to ice cream but almost anything else!😀 Click here for Roasted Garlic recipe.
Unlike raw garlic, which has a sharp distinctive flavor, roasted garlic provides a rich, deep, sweeter flavor and a velvet-smooth texture. It's a great paring with hummus because of that softer, savory, smoother garlic flavor.
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Roasted garlic adds a sweet and savory flavor to the hummus which perfectly blends together with the lemon, chick peas, and tahini.
