I fell in love with hummus when I worked at a farmer's market in California. I would get flatbread, hummus, tomatoes, and avocados and make a meal of it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love hummus but have never made it, this roasted garlic cilantro jalapeno hummus recipe is your signal to give it a try. Roasted garlic adds tons of flavor to the chick peas. Jalapenos add a touch of heat but scale those depending on how much heat you prefer. Cilantro adds a pop of freshness and its traditional flavor. A squeeze of lemon brightens up the hummus and balances the ingredients. Serve with warm pita bread, and we guarantee you will not be able to stop eating this appetizer.

How To Make roasted garlic cilantro jalapeno hummus

Test Kitchen Tips
If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water and/or olive oil. Once everything is mixed, taste to see if it needs more salt or lemon juice.
  • Cloves of garlic in aluminum foil with olive oil.
    Step 1
    Get your garlic ready. Set oven to 375 degrees F. Peel and separate the garlic cloves. Make a bowl out of foil. Place the cloves in the foil bowl and cover with the olive oil.
  • Close the foil and leave a very small opening in the top.
    Step 2
    Close the foil around the garlic and leave a small opening on top. Put on/in an oven-safe pan and roast for 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Cool the roasted garlic cloves.
    Step 3
    When the garlic is done, take it out to cool while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Chickpeas in a food processor with water, lemon, salt, and jalapenos.
    Step 4
    Put your chickpeas, 1/8 cup water, lemon, salt, and jalapeno in a food processor or blender. Blend until most is chopped.
  • Add the garlic and garlic oil.
    Step 5
    Add the garlic and the oil from the foil. Blend until smooth.
  • Add the cilantro and blend.
    Step 6
    Now add the cilantro and blend until it is a pretty green color. Serve warm or cold with veggies for dipping or on bread.
