This roasted garlic and artichoke hummus recipe is ridiculously easy—and tastes like a million bucks! I came up with this recipe on a whim one evening and the whole family loved it. I swear, my picky eaters cleared their plates in a heartbeat.
What makes this hummus different? Well, it's the simple act of roasting the garlic that elevates this dish to a whole new level of flavor. It’s a revelation! Roasting transforms the garlic into something sweet and subtly caramelized, completely different from raw garlic. It's my little secret weapon for making all my dips and spreads taste amazing.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Halve the head of garlic and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap in foil and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until very soft and caramelized. Let cool completely. Once cool, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and warmed through.
- Meanwhile, drain the chickpeas and rinse thoroughly. Add the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, roasted garlic, and salt to a food processor or blender.
- Process until mostly smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If you prefer a super smooth hummus, blend a little longer. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of the reserved olive oil to get the desired consistency, but don't add more than is needed, or the hummus will be too oily.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the ice water until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy and smooth but not watery.
- Stir in the cooked artichoke hearts. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed – you might want more lemon juice, salt, or even a pinch of black pepper.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with warm pita bread or crudités. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a potato masher for a chunkier hummus.
- Feel free to experiment with other add-ins. Sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or even a pinch of cumin would all work well.
