30 minutes

Hummus with roasted garlic and parsley is a refined and aromatic version of the classic Middle Eastern dish that originates from ancient Syrian cuisine. The velvety texture of the hummus, rich in creamy tahini flavor and fresh lemon juice tang, harmoniously combines with the soft sweetness of roasted garlic. Parsley adds a refreshing herbal note, while a pinch of paprika gives a subtle spiciness. This hummus is perfect as a dip for warm lavash or fresh vegetables and can also serve as a base for various dishes—from spreads for sandwiches to sides for meat or fish. Its deeply rich flavor and nutritional value make it an ideal choice for gourmets and health food enthusiasts.
