These roasted banana popsicles are a vegan treat that tastes great and is very creamy. When you roast the bananas, they get even sweeter, and when you add the coconut milk, the texture gets rich and velvety. You can make it your own by adding vegan chocolate chips for an extra sweet touch.

Ingredients: 4 ripe bananas. 2 tablespoons maple syrup. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/4 cup coconut milk. 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips optional.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Brush the banana halves with the maple syrup mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast the bananas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Remove the bananas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, place the roasted bananas in a blender or food processor. Add the coconut milk to the blender and blend until smooth. If desired, stir in the vegan chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. To unmold the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull the popsicles out.

The white beans give the dish a velvety texture and the roasted garlic adds a rich, slightly sweet flavor. It's a terrific addition to any gathering and sure to please the crowd.

Ingredients: 1 head of garlic. 1 can 15 oz of white beans, drained and rinsed. 2 tablespoons tahini. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon cumin. 1/4 teaspoon paprika. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 2 tablespoons water adjust for desired consistency. Fresh parsley for garnish optional.

Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 400F 200C. Take off the top of the garlic head to get to the cloves. Put some olive oil on top, cover with aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the garlic is soft and smells good. Wait for it to cool down. Put the white beans, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and black pepper in a food processor. The garlic cloves should be roasted. If you need to, scrape down the sides of the processor as you blend to make the mixture smooth. It's easy to make the right consistency by adding water little by little until you get there. If you think it needs more salt, lemon juice, or spices, taste it and add them. Put the roasted garlic and white bean hummus in a bowl that will be used for serving.
