Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by chopping the cauliflower florets into small pieces. Steam the cauliflower for about 10 minutes or until very tender.
While the cauliflower is steaming, roast the red peppers if not using pre-roasted. To do this, place whole peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides. Once cooled, remove the skins, seeds, and stems.
In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and water.
Process the mixture for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the hummus is smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed—for more tang, add additional lemon juice; for more spice, add extra pepper or cumin.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika if desired.
Serve the hummus with low-carb options such as sliced cucumbers, celery sticks, or almond flour crackers.
