Roast the Poblano Peppers
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.

Roast the Portobello Mushrooms
Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and brush them with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Place them on the baking sheet with the poblano peppers for the last 15 minutes of roasting.

Prepare the Garlic
In the last 10 minutes of roasting, add the garlic cloves (with skins on) to the baking sheet to roast until soft and fragrant.

Mash the Garbanzo Beans
In a bowl, add the garbanzo beans and mash them with a fork or a potato masher until they reach a creamy consistency. Add the roasted garlic (peeled), aji amarillo paste, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
