Ingredients

• 15 oz white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.25 tsp paprika (for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the garlic cloves, place them on a small piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly to create a packet. Roast for 10 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the drained white beans, roasted garlic cloves, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated. If the dip is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if necessary.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

Step 6

Serve immediately with your choice of veggies, pita bread, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
