Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly blistered.
While the tomatoes are roasting, steam the cauliflower florets. Place them in a steaming basket over boiling water and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, steamed cauliflower, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Blend on high speed, gradually adding the 2 tablespoons of water, until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Add more water if needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, to achieve your desired texture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the tomato hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve it with fresh vegetable sticks like cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper, or pair it with grilled chicken or fish for a satisfying Whole30-compliant snack or side dish.
