Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Cut off the top of the garlic head, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and place in the oven to roast for 30 minutes.

- In a food processor, place the roasted garlic cloves along with the white beans, 1/4 cup of olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and papaprika.
- Process until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy texture. If necessary, gradually add more olive oil until the desired consistency is reached.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more cumin or paprika if needed, but avoid using salt and pepper as seasonings.
