This simple, flavorful, & budget friendly homemade hummus is packed full of the good stuff & is ready in minutes...
I sort of have a thing for homemade hummus now.
Once I discovered how incredibly easy it is to make at home and how crazy budget friendly it is, I was hooked.
I mean, seriously folks. I can pick up a can of garbanzo beans for less than 70 cents at my local ALDI.
And it is crazy versatile. It lends itself to all kinds of flavor profiles- from the mild to the flavor packed.
This Roasted Spinach & Garlic Hummus definitely errs more on the side of flavor packed. And you get all this rich, delicious flavor from just a few minutes of roasting in your oven! From start to finish, you can be dipping your baby carrots and pita chips in this tasty & fresh dip in around 20 minutes...
