Summer is coming to a close and if you kept a garden this year, you might be wondering what to make with your last harvest. Look no further than this simple hummus recipe made with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil leaves! This recipe is simple and delicious. Try to make this dish for your whole family!

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp. lemon Juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
2 cans chickpeas
Coarse salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp. Olive oil

Method

01

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Drizzle a little olive oil on the foil and set aside. For extra smooth hummus, remove the skin from the garbanzo beans before processing.
02

Just pinch the bean between your thumb and index finger and the casing should slide right off. Set the beans in a separate bowl and discard the skins. It takes maybe 20-30 minutes, but the extra work pays off for amazingly smooth restaurant-style hummus!
03

While you’re removing the skin from the beans or if you’re skipping that step, you can roast the tomatoes and garlic! Place the tomato halves on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle minced garlic over the tomatoes and place in the oven.
04

Bake for 15 minutes or until garlic starts to brown and the tomato skins wrinkle. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for a few minutes. Place chickpeas, paprika, salt, and lemon juice in a food processor and process into a puree. Scrape down the sides and puree for 10 seconds.
05

With the food processor running, slowly pour olive oil down the feed tube. Process for a few minutes or until the mixture thickens. Add roasted tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil and puree another 10-15 seconds. Serve right away or store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
