Roasted garlic hummus is an always popular scrumptious Mediterranean appetizer, dip, spread or side dish that most people love. Another great thing about hummus is that it’s super easy to make.
To save time, roast the garlic in advance while preparing the other roasted vegetables or dishes in the oven. Roasted garlic can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container covered in olive oil for up to one week.
Roasted Garlic Shortcut
RECIPE TIME SAVER TIP
Buy minced roasted garlic available in grocery produce departments to save time while adding gourmet flare to any dish. Substitute 1-3 teaspoons per clove, depending on if you want more or less garlic flavor.
We use this roasted garlic by Christopher Ranch available in the produce department of most grocery stores when it needs to be quick and easy.
And Then There’s Black Garlic
If you plan in advance, black garlic also adds a gourmet touch. Not hard to do… just takes a few week to “cook”. There are cool appliances that can do that for you. Or, you can make your own using a rice cooker.

Roasted Veggies for Healthy Finger Food
Our family’s favorite every day food staple is roasted veggies. You can use eggplant, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and zucchini cut into fry shape, for easy finger food.
For even healthier, low cal fare, you can cut broccoli and cauliflower into florets, and brussel sprouts whole, halved or quartered, (depending on size). Top with your favorite mushrooms, again, halved or quartered, and you, along with quartered onions and you’ve got the makings for a wonderful meal or finger food to go along with your roasted garlic hummus.
