Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, and bake for 30 minutes, or until cloves are soft and fragrant.

Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, and salt to the food processor. Process until smooth and creamy.
5.
With the food processor running, gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
6.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
7.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with za'atar.
8.
Serve immediately with warm pita bread.

For a smoother hummus, peel the chickpeas before processing.
