Where are my garlic lovers at?! Because, boy, do I have the recipe for you! This simple roasted garlic & lime hummus will have you wanting to ditch the carrot sticks and eat it with a spoon – maybe I did this and maybe I didn’t…

In all seriousness though, this hummus is the bomb.com. I had the biggest hankering for some this past weekend while grocery shopping. First lesson of the day: do NOT grocery shop when hungry. I repeat, do not grocery shop when hungry! Got it? Good. Moving on. So I had this big craving for hummus and was thiiiis close to picking up a container when I stopped myself. I had a jar of tahini, can of chickpeas, and some olive oil at home. Why spend the $2 when I can just make it? It’s a cinch to do yourself! So, I decided to do just that.

I am a serious garlic fan. Thank the sweet lord that Joe is too. I mean, if you kiss someone who has equally horrible garlic breath, does it actually smell/taste like garlic? Million dollar question. I tell myself no.

This simple roasted garlic & lime recipe calls for an entire head of garlic. The WHOLE thing. To be fair, the recipe makes a super large batch- it’s actually a double batch, because it’s that good. I guess if you’re a little less of a garlic enthusiast you could do half, however, the more garlic the better for this girl. Adding lime gives it a little pizzaz, and actually takes some of the in-your-face-ness out of the garlic flavor. The two flavors together are amaze.

Using hummus to dip veggies in is a super great way to up your veggie intake. Hummus is a pretty lnutrient rich option. This simple roasted garlic & lime recipe has 2g protein, heart healthy fats, and almost 2g of feel-full fiber per 2 tbsp
