Ingredients
  

1 head of garlic

1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Pita chips or whole grain pita for serving

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic so that the cloves are exposed. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool.

    Prepare the Hummus: In a food processor, add the drained garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, roasted garlic cloves (squeezed out from their skins), and remaining olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if the mixture is too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Prep the Veggies: While the hummus is blending, wash and prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and shred the carrots.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, start with a generous layer of roasted garlic hummus at the bottom. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and avocado slices artfully on top of the hummus.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for freshness. If desired, serve with pita chips or wedges for a crunch. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious bowl!
