Ingredients
- 1 1 large head of cauliflower broken into florets
- 2 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon olive oil divided
- 4 4 tablespoons Tahini
- ½ ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 2 2 cloves garlic
- Juice from 1 lemon
- cold water see notes
- Optional toppings: a few roasted cauliflower florets, olive oil, cumin, sumac, sesame seeds, and parsley
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.
