Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus blends roasted cauliflower with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and spices to create a creamy, smooth dip. Roasting the cauliflower develops a subtle caramelized flavor while blending with tahini and seasonings produces a rich texture and bright taste. Garnished with sunflower seeds and parsley, it offers a unique alternative to traditional chickpea hummus.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.

Notes

  • If the hummus is too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time to reach the preferred consistency.
  • Use a high-powered blender like a Vitamix for the creamiest texture and scrape down sides as needed during blending.
  • Garnish with sunflower seeds and chopped parsley for added texture and color.
