Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cauliflower cut into florets
  • ⅓ cup tahini paste
  • ⅓ cup olive oil + 1 tablespoon
  • ¼ cup roasted red pepper chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2-3 small garlic cloves (see notes)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Add the cauliflower to a microwave safe bowl, place a plate over the top and cook in the microwave for 7 minutes.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a Silpat and bake for 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and golden.
  4. While the cauliflower is still warm, add to the bowl of a food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Pulse until everything is thoroughly combined and smooth. Add a little more olive oil if the mixture is too thick.
  5. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkling of smoked paprika over the top. Enjoy with fresh cut celery, cucumber, zucchini sticks, carrots, pork rinds or seasoned tortilla chips!

Notes

  • If you don't like a strong garlic flavor, use only 2 small cloves of garlic.  I like garlic flavor in my hummus, so I used 3 cloves.  If you're not sure,  start with 2 cloves then give it a taste and always add another clove if you want.
