Roasting the garlic first is the little step that takes this hummus from good to unforgettable. The cloves turn mellow and sweet, folding into a smooth, creamy blend brightened with fresh lemon juice. Scoop it up with warm pita, spread it thick on sandwiches, or set it out with crisp vegetables; either way, this dip disappears fast and puts store-bought tubs to shame.
