Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or add a slow cooker liner. Add dry chickpeas, water, sea salt, baking soda and garlic. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or until the chickpeas are tender.
Drain the chickpeas well, reserving the garlic and add to a food processor. (Note: if using a small food processor, break up into multiple batches.)
Add tahini, garlic, olive oil, sea salt and pepper to the food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Chill and enjoy with fresh veggies, healthy pita chips or as a spread for a sandwich or wrap.
