Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup almonds toasted
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic baked* or raw
  • 1 can 15 1/2 oz. garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Toast almonds in a skillet over med-high heat, until starts to turn brown. Set aside to cool.
  • In a food processor, mix almonds with garlic and oil. Process until finely ground.
  • Add beans, lemon juice and pepper and process until smooth. While machine is running, slowly pour in more olive oil until it becomes the consistency you want for your dip.
  • Serve with fresh veggies, corn chips, or your favorite GF crackers or spread over baguette slices.

Notes

To bake garlic, slice the top off the whole garlic bulb so the tips of all the cloves are exposed. Drizzle some olive oil over top and wrap in foil. Bake in oven at 350F for 30 minutes, or until cloves are soft and golden colored. Squeeze cloves out to remove from bulb.
