Ingredients

1 large head garlic
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
¼ cup warm water
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4 inch) so that the tops of the cloves are slightly exposed. Coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and wrap securely in foil.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove and let sit until cool enough to handle.
Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add chickpeas, remaining oil, water, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne; process until completely smooth.
