For an extra layer of flavor, toast the garlic cloves in a dry pan over medium heat before adding them to the food processor. This will mellow out their sharpness and add a subtle nutty note. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. If you prefer a milder hummus, start with a ¼ teaspoon and add more to taste. Toasted pepitas or a swirl of harissa paste can be used as garnishes for visual appeal and a flavor boost. Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers for dipping. It's also delicious as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
