SUNNY'S EASY ROASTED GARLIC AND PUMPKIN HUMMUS

Steps:

• For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the olive oil and garlic in a ramekin or small baking dish and roast, making sure the garlic does not begin to brown but just turns a light golden color and becomes tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the hummus: Add the roasted garlic cloves plus 2 tablespoons of the oil from the ramekin (reserve the remaining oil) to a food processor along with the garbanzo beans, pumpkin puree, lemon juice, tahini, pumpkin pie spice and a nice pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then add a bit more of the roasted garlic oil to smooth out the texture. Taste and add a bit more salt and lemon juice if needed. Spoon into a bowl and pour any remaining olive oil over the top; cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• For the pumpkin seed garnish: When ready to serve, add the pumpkin seeds and a pinch of salt to a saute pan on medium-high heat and toast, tossing, until the seeds are fragrant and develop a bit of a sheen, about 4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds over top of the hummus and serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.

Transfer to a large bowl, add the other half of the tomatoes and stir. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to distribute.

WHITE BEAN AND ROASTED GARLIC DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Drizzle the head with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a sheet tray and bake until tender and fragrant, roughly 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Remove the cloves and mash with a wooden spoon.
• Add the olive oil, basil, mint, beans, lemon juice, and some salt and pepper to a food processor and pulse until smooth. For a smooth texture, leave the machine running for a moment. Serve with the vegetables and baked tortilla chips.

ROASTED GARLIC DIP

Steps:

• Cut the top third off each head of garlic so the cloves are exposed and wrap in foil. Roast the garlic until the cloves are very soft and golden, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly and then pop the cloves from the skins and finely chop.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to paper towels to drain.
• Mix together the sour cream and cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the pancetta, chopped garlic, dill, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Serve with crackers.

SUNNY'S EASY CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Fold together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Line up four 9-ounce clear cups. Add a spoonful of the graham cracker crust crumbs to each, followed by a drizzle of the caramel dip. Next, snip a hole in one corner of the bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe in about an inch of the mixture; top with half an inch of the apple pie filling. Repeat the steps one more time or until the cups are filled, ending with one final crumble of the graham cracker crust crumbs on top. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, or chill until served.
