Total time: 75 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 3 large onions, halved; 4–7 garlic cloves, peeled; 2–4 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tsp sriracha; 1/4 cup water; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 tsp paprika powder; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1 tsp dried oregano; 1 can chickpeas, drained; Juice of 1 lemon; Roasted garlic cloves (for topping); 2 tbsp tahini; 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed); Salt and pepper to taste; Sesame seeds (for garnish); Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish); Extra sauce from the baking tray

Directions

1. Roast the Onions and Garlic

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the halved onions and garlic cloves on a baking tray. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, tomato paste, sriracha, water, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the onions and garlic. Cover the tray with foil and roast for 40–60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the onions are soft and caramelized.

2. Make the Hummus

Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze it out of its skins. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, roasted garlic, tahini, water, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for desired consistency.

3. Assemble the Platter

Spread the hummus on a serving plate. Top with caramelized onions and any remaining sauce from the baking tray. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, fresh parsley, and a splash of olive oil.
