Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. Drain and let it cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture in the food processor until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to your liking.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately with keto-friendly options such as cucumber slices, celery sticks, or bell pepper strips for dipping. Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
