Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the cauliflower florets and cherry tomatoes in a single layer.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the tomatoes are slightly blistered.
While the vegetables are roasting, peel the garlic cloves.
Transfer the roasted vegetables and garlic to a food processor.
Add tahini, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the food processor.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
While blending, drizzle in the ice water to achieve a creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more lemon juice, salt, or spices if desired.
Transfer the tomato hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil or garnish with additional smoked paprika if desired.
Serve immediately with low-carb veggies like cucumber slices, celery sticks, or bell pepper strips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
