How to prepare cauliflower hummus

To prepare the cauliflower hummus begin by roasting the cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and chop the cauliflower into florets, then arrange them in a single layer on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Let the cauliflower cool.

Next, prepare the hummus. Add the roasted cauliflower, tahini, garlic, olive oil, water, lemon juice, salt, and cumin in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Transfer the hummus to a bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with toasted nuts or seeds, fresh parsley, and ground red pepper.

Serve this tasty appetizer or snack with crackers, pita chips, or vegetable sticks. Hope you will try this easy and delicious Cauliflower Hummus. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy!
