Recipe Notes
Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator. Serving size is approximately 2 Tablespoons.
Salt will vary, based on the saltiness of your beans. Always taste, and add more if it tastes bland. I recommend tasting it on the same thing you will be serving them with. For example, you may need less salt if your pita chips are salty.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to a week.
If you prep your roasted garlic ahead of time, this recipe is much faster. I like to roast my garlic when I already have my oven on for something else, if possible. Then I keep the roasted garlic in the fridge until I am ready to make this.
If you are making this recipe for more than 6 people, I would probably recommend doubling the recipe. Use the slider to adjust the number of serving to double. I always like to have more than enough when entertaining, and leftovers of this are great!
