Keto Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

Keto Roasted Cauliflower Hummus blends roasted cauliflower with tahini, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, creating a creamy, low-carb dip. Roasting the cauliflower brings a golden color and slightly caramelized flavor, while blending with tahini and lemon juice gives a smooth texture and a balance of nuttiness and brightness. This hummus variant offers a flavorful alternative to traditional chickpea-based hummus and can be served as an appetizer or snack with a sprinkle of paprika.

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower 400g / 14 oz florets, large
  • ¼ cup / 60g tahini
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 8 tablespoon water or to desired thinness
  • lemon juice of 1 plus zest of 1/2
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • ⅓ teaspoon sea salt or to taste, flaked
To serve
  • Pinch paprika

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / 180 fan.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for about 25 minutes or until golden. Allow to fully cool.
  3. Add cooled cauliflower, tahini, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic and salt to a high speed blender. Add water, starting with 4 tablespoon and adding more in tablespoon increments until you get the thinness you like. Blitz until smooth. This may take a couple of minutes, scraping the sides a couple of times. The longer you blend it, the creamier it will be. Mine took 8 tablespoon of water to get it nice and smooth and creamy. Quantity of water will depend on how juicy your lemon is.
  4. Serve with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to taste and a pinch of paprika. Smoked paprika is nice too.

Notes

  • One serving is about 3 tablespoons with 4 grams of net carbs.
  • The recipe makes roughly 1 1/3 cups total hummus.
  • Use a high-speed blender for the creamiest texture; a food processor will work but result in a less smooth dip.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 7 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
