Ingredients

  • 1-2 whole jalapeños depending on level of heat desired
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas slightly drained
  • 4 Tbsp Greek Yogurt or 1/2 of an avocado
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 1 medium lime
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil or whatever oil you prefer
  • ¼ cup dried cilantro or 1 handful fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F (218° C)
  • Place garlic cloves with skin still on and jalapeños on a baking sheet. Drizzle garlic cloves with a small amount of oil and roast for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check the garlic at this time to make sure it isn’t roasting too much. If using already minced garlic, add at this time.
  • Place jalapeños under a glass bowl to steam. After a few minutes, peel away skin. Remove seeds if you want to. You should be able to easily peel the garlic after roasting.
  • Juice the lemon and lime.
  • To a blender or food processor, add chickpeas, oil, cilantro, Greek yogurt, salt, cumin, lemon and lime juices, roasted jalapeños, tahini and peeled garlic cloves .
  • Blend until creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste.
