Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml tahini
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 60 ml water
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over the cauliflower and toss with your hands to ensure all pieces are well-coated.
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
While the cauliflower is roasting, peel the garlic cloves and chop them roughly.
In a food processor, add the roasted cauliflower, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, water, cumin, and salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle the remaining olive oil on top.
Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
