Ingredients
  

1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Peel away any loose outer layers from the garlic cloves but keep the skins on. Place them on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with a little olive oil, and wrap them tightly in the foil.

        - Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and fragrant. After roasting, let the garlic cool slightly before squeezing the soft cloves out of their skins.

          Make the Hummus:

            - In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

              - Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. If needed, adjust the texture by adding water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.

                Prepare the Bowl:

                  - Take four serving bowls and evenly divide the cooked quinoa as the base layer.

                    - Over the quinoa, artfully arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, and a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens.

                      Assemble:

                        - Generously spoon the homemade roasted garlic hummus over the colorful veggies and quinoa.

                          - Drizzle additional olive oil on top, and if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.

                            Serve:

                              - Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness. Enjoy your vibrant and nutritious Roasted Garlic Hummus Veggie Bowl, packed with wholesome goodness!
