How to Make White Bean Cranberry Hummus

In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
Add in the fresh rosemary and peeled garlic cloves. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add in all of the ingredients, except for the pecans, to a food processor. This includes the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary you just cooked in the skillet.

Blend together until very smooth and adjust the thickness by adding in filtered water, if desired, until the hummus is at your preferred consistency.
Serve the hummus with the chopped pecans on top and add some extra cranberries for garnish.
Serve with fresh bread or crackers as desired.Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

When cooking the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary, make sure that the oil doesn’t burn. You’re only trying to saute the garlic and rosemary until fragrant. Once achieved, you can remove the skillet from the heat.
Keep your leftover hummus stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
