Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Garlic Hummus:

1 head of garlic

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Water, as needed for desired consistency

For the Veggie Bowl:

2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup baby spinach or arugula

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take a head of garlic and slice off the top to reveal the cloves. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the exposed cloves, then wrap the head in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before handling.

      Prepare the Hummus:

        - Once the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a food processor. Add in the drained chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is thicker than you'd like, gradually add water one tablespoon at a time until you achieve the desired consistency. Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

          Assemble the Veggie Bowl:

            - In a large mixing bowl or divide into individual serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base for each serving.

              - Layer the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and bell pepper, and top with fresh baby spinach or arugula.

                Finish and Garnish:

                  - Generously drizzle the roasted garlic hummus over the colorful vegetable layers. Then, add the sliced Kalamata olives on top. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese for an extra touch of flavor. Finish the dish with a light dusting of chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant and fragrant garnish.

                    Serve:

                      - Serve this delightful bowl immediately as a filling and healthy lunch or dinner. Alternatively, you can cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious Roasted Garlic Hummus Veggie Bowl!
