Ingredient notes

• White beans - also known as cannellini beans, or white kidney beans. I used canned white beans for this recipe to make things extra simple. Because their skins are so soft, these beans make the creamiest, most silky smooth hummus.
• Roasted garlic - something magical happens when you roast an olive oil-drenched head of garlic. It turns from pungent and strong; to a sweet, mellowed out version of garlic.
• Tahini - is a sesame seed paste that should be found with the nut butters, in the natural foods aisle or in the international foods section of your grocery store
• Lemon - adds brightness in flavor to this dip; use fresh or bottled lemon juice
• Seasonings - cumin adds a warm earthy flavor, which is so tasty with the refreshing coriander and rosemary

Step by step instructions

1. Roast garlic - pre-heat oven to 400°F. Cut the top ¼ inch off of a head of garlic, then wrap in aluminum foil; drizzle olive oil into head before sealing. Roast for 40 minutes, then remove from oven and cool slightly.

TIP- see step by step photos and a recipe video in this how to roast garlic post.

2. Assemble ingredients - while garlic is roasting, assemble remaining ingredients in the food processor; including white beans, lemon, tahini, rosemary, cumin, salt, coriander, and olive oil.

3. Process - after garlic has roasted and cooled slightly, squeeze the cloves out of the skin into the food processor. Blend for 30 seconds - 1 minute, scrape sides of processor and repeat until smooth and creamy.
