Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Slice the top off each head of garlic. Drizzle the cut ends with 1 tablespoon olive oil and wrap in foil.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove and let sit until cool enough to handle. Turn on the broiler.
Step 3
Reserve liquid from chickpeas. Rinse and drain chickpeas; transfer to a blender.
Step 4
Add 1/2 of the reserved chickpea liquid to the blender with lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Squeeze in roasted garlic from 2 of the heads. Blend until creamy, adding more chickpea liquid if needed.
Step 5
Split pita rounds and cut into quarters. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 6
Place under the preheated broiler until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7
Place hummus into a bowl. Make a well in the center and squeeze roasted garlic from the remaining head into the well. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pitas.
