Ingredients
  

1 bulb of garlic

2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)

1 can (15 oz) of white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or any fresh herb of your choice)

4 slices of rustic bread (like sourdough or ciabatta)

Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, sliced radishes, microgreens

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Place it on a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil, and wrap it tightly.

        - Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden. Allow to cool slightly before handling.

          Prepare the White Bean Mixture:

            - In a medium bowl, combine the drained white beans, lemon juice, lemon zest, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper.

              - Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the mixture until it's creamy but still has some texture. Stir in the chopped parsley.

                Toast the Bread:

                  - While the beans are being prepared, toast the slices of rustic bread until they are golden and crisp. You can either use an oven, a toaster, or a grill pan.

                    Assemble the Toasts:

                      - Spread a generous dollop of the roasted garlic white bean mixture on each slice of toasted bread.

                        - Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for extra flavor and garnish with your choice of optional toppings, such as red pepper flakes for spice, sliced radishes for crunch, or microgreens for freshness.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal. Enjoy the creamy, savory flavors juxtaposed with the crispy toast.
