4 servings
For the roasted garlic
- 1 whole head of garlic
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
For the white bean spread
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini), drained and rinsed
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits beans and lentils to about 1/2 cup at a time, and this recipe works out to about 1/2 cup of cannellini beans per serving, so it is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid cannellini beans, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the bruschetta
- 8 slices whole-grain bread, cut about ½ inch thick

- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1–2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- flaky sea salt, to taste

Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the garlic head cut-side up on a small square of foil, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast on the baking sheet for 35–40 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden and completely soft when pressed.

While the garlic roasts, combine the drained white beans, 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse 6–8 times until the mixture is mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining — it should be spreadable but not completely pureed.
