In collaboration with Breville.
I have such a weakness for garlic, especially roasted garlic. I absolutely love the stuff! One of my favourite midweek meals is to roast a tray of chicken thighs and vegetables (beetroot and sweet potato, especially) along with a few whole bulbs of garlic. The whole thing gets drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and roasted for 45 minutes. At the end of the meal, I love squeezing the roasted garlic out of their skins, fingers sticky from peeling the cloves open. So good!
I’ve combined my love of roasted garlic and my love of hummus to bring you this delicious super creamy roasted garlic hummus recipe.
I’ve been making my own hummus now for years, and I’ve worked with several different appliances to try and attain that super creamy result that I like. A hand blender works fine, but it’s a bit messy and takes awhile to get the right consistency, while a huge blender is a faff of constant scraping down the sides to force the chickpeas to the bottom of the bowl.
The latest addition to my kitchen arsenal is the Breville Blend Active Accessory Pack that goes with my Breville Blend Active Personal Blender; a blender I’ve been using for nearly a year now. Featuring a mini food processor, perfect for quickly chopping onions, herbs, garlic, and such it also whips up dips in no time. It’s also got a stainless steel grinding mill for grinding nuts and seeds, whole spices and even coffee beans, a whipping disc for making perfect creamy milkshakes in seconds. It also includes a citrus juicer.
I was quite impressed with how quickly the 450 ml mini food processor turned whole chickpeas into hummus. I only had to scrape down the sides once, as gravity pulls everything downwards for you. Since the blender blade is detachable, it’s really easy to transfer the hummus to a serving bowl too, unlike large blenders where you have to try and get the hummus out that’s stuck under the blades. Easy peasy hummus, and so delicious too!
All in all, I’m quite impressed with this accessory pack (and the fact most of it is dishwasher safe for easy clean-up!). The recipe booklet that comes with the pack includes recipes for crepes, cake mix, pesto, tapenade and more. I’m looking forward to experimenting!
My super creamy roasted garlic hummus recipe will keep for up to five days, covered, in the refrigerator. It’s perfect for quick lunches, or a mid-afternoon snack. You might also like my black bean and hemp brownie protein shake recipe, made in my Breville Active Blend™ Personal Blender.

I am a huge fan of garlic and hummus and would never have thought of making a garlic hummus, sounds great x
I love hummus, its one of my favourites. Although we don’t eat it as much as we did as our eldest has a sesame allergy. I have often wondered if you can swap out the tahini then we could all eat it. Love all the garlic x
Roasted garlic is my favorite and that hummus looks delicious! I am in need of a new blender, too.
Wow this hummus looks and sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it!
Love garlic too and do put in my hummus but never tried roasted garlic, can’t wait to try!
I am a hummus and garlic lover. I would devour this….and roasted garlic rocks!! I am imagining how delicious this would be in a wrap too.
This sounds so incredible. My fiancee is Israeli and he’s hummus mad. We have that and tahini with everything. I’ve never attempted to make it before, but I love the sound of your recipe. He always tells me the ones we buy either needs more garlic or more lemon juice. Yours sounds ideal, I think i’ll surprise him with it. 🙂 X
Oh my that looks super tasty (gorgeous pics too!). I haven’t made hummus in ages, but now I’m craving it SO badly! I’ll have to try your version ASAP 🙂
I could really do with investing in a blender. This one sounds so handy! The hummus sound delicious.
I love hummus and garlic so having them both together sounds amazing and so easy too.
I love how quick this recipe is, I’m all about ease in the kitchen. I also love the sound of the blender, I think ours is going to give up soon so I might have to get this
Oh gosh this looks so delicious and easy to make too. The Breville personal blender sounds such a useful tool for the kitchen.
Oh I love garlic hummus, this looks really delicious and easy to make. The blender sounds fab!

Hummus just isn’t the same without garlic and the Breville blender makes it so much quicker and easier!
OMG!!! i so need to try this! Love hummus and this recipe is so good
I LOVE hummus – could seriously sit and eat it by the tub load! Will definitely have to try this – it looks delicious
I am so so with you on the roasted garlic thing!!! I love it too. My OH isn’t as big a fan so I get to have all of his cloves at the end of the meal 😀 I don’t usually put lots of garlic in my hummus but I bet it tasted fab if the garlic is roasted first 🙂
I never seem to get the texture of hummus right so I’m going to give this a whirl in the hope of it being super creamy like yours!
Ooooo! We love garlic too. This sounds delicious.
Oh wow, we love garlic in our house so this would definitely be a huge hit. I will definitely be giving it a go!
Well I love garlic but I am not too keen on hummus. I like to use garlic in stews to add an extra kick. I like what you do with the garlic on the chicken and I think I will try that.
Amazing, can’t wait to try this recipe at home!
I just want to dip right into this creamy hummus! Roasted garlic is perfect in this dip. Thanks for sharing.
This looks awesome & I love the addition of roasted garlic to kick it up a few notches! Yum!
This just looks delicious and easy enough for even a me to make!
I never thought of garlic with hummus before for some reason but looks great 🙂
OK, this hummus sounds amazing, as does that beautiful mini food processor – that is going on my wish list for sure! I also really want to try your idea of just roasting chicken thighs with veggies and garlic for a quick weeknight dinner – that sounds amazing and simple – just my style!
We love homemade hummus! This breville food processor looks like the perfect choice for making dips!
That hummus looks delicious! I love hummus with lots of garlic like this!
I tried to make hummus many many years ago and it was a disaster (don’t even ask how i managed to screw it up). I haven’t tried since, but I’m sure I could do it now. This looks delicious! I’m going to have to try making it.
That hummus looks absolutely delicious! That Breville personal blender sounds fab, you can do so much with it!
I bet this tastes amazing…….just need to get myself a blender
