Wrap the cut garlic bulbs in foil, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and pepper, and place in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes.

Open the can of garbanzo beans and drain the liquid.

Place the beans in a large bowl and add water to remove the skins by slathering them together with your hands.

Strain out the skins and rinse the beans until most skins are removed.

Place the beans into a food processor or blender, reserving a few for garnish.

Add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and 1/3 cup of tahini to the blender.

Squeeze the juice of the lemon halves into the blender using a strainer to catch the seeds.

Once the garlic is done roasting, let it cool, then remove the cloves from their skins.

Add the roasted garlic cloves to the blender along with 1 teaspoon of sea salt.

Blend the mixture until smooth, adding a few tablespoons of water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Scoop the hummus into a small bowl and stir it with a spoon.

Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a dash of paprika, fresh parsley, and the reserved chickpeas and lemon slices.
