Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets. Place them in a steaming basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, transfer it to a food processor. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid any potential heat damage to the processor.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and water to the food processor with the cauliflower.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes depending on the power of your food processor.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or lemon juice according to preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the Keto Garlic Hummus immediately with your choice of low-carb vegetables or keto-friendly crackers. For best flavor, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving if time permits.
