Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cauliflower florets in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and place them on the baking sheet. Roast the cauliflower for 20 minutes, or until soft and brown in a few places.
Reserve a few small pieces of the roasted cauliflower to garnish, then place the rest of the cauliflower and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, tahini, sea salt, cumin, garlic, and lemon juice in your food processor or high-powered blender. Blend on high until mostly smooth. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue to blend until the hummus is very smooth.
Allow the cauliflower hummus to cool then serve with any or all of the optional toppings.

Notes

The amount of water you'll need to add will depend on the size of your cauliflower and the juiciness of your lemon. We often add about ¼ cup.
