Ingredients
  

1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and black 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 a mix of salad greens

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnishing

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic:

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

      - Take the garlic cloves (leaving the skins on) and place them on a square of aluminum foil. Drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and wrap them tightly in the foil.

        - Place the wrapped garlic in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and aromatic. Once done, allow to cool for a few minutes before peeling away the skins and squeezing the roasted garlic into a bowl.

          Make the Hummus:

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

              - Process until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.

                Prepare the Bowl:

                  - For assembly, divide the cooked quinoa among four serving bowls, creating a generous base.

                    - Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, and baby spinach or mixed greens over the quinoa.

                      Assemble:

                        - Spoon a generous amount of the roasted garlic hummus atop the vegetables and quinoa in each bowl.

                          - Drizzle with additional olive oil, and if using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley on top for a delightful finishing touch.

                            Serve:

                              - Serve immediately while fresh and vibrant. Enjoy your colorful and nutritious Roasted Garlic Hummus Veggie Bowl, perfect for any time of the day!
