I love serving this hummus with fresh veggies, pita bread, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps. It’s also great as a dip for chips or crackers. My family always looks forward to enjoying this hummus as a snack or appetizer, and I love how easy it is to whip up a batch whenever we need it. Once you try this Vegan Roasted Garlic Hummus, you’ll never go back to store-bought!
