This cauliflower hummus recipe needs just 7 ingredients and you’re good to go. Hummus is a dip, spread or savory dish made from cooked chickpeas that are blended together with oil, lemon juice, tahini and garlic.

If you’re a fan of hummus then this one right here is for you. Also, if you’ve ever wondered if keto hummus even exists, I’m pleased to let you know that they actually do. This roasted cauliflower hummus recipe is so good!!!

It is made with a combination of roasted cauliflower, seasonings, tahini and garlic, all this to give it that superb taste. Cauliflower hummus can be served as appetizer (especially to Mediterranean meals) or it can be a quick grab-and-go snack for those hurry days.

I prefer to serve my cauliflower hummus with different types of veggies. It’s actually my family’s favorite, except for my little brother, that dude is so stuck with eating these roasted cauliflower hummus with cucumber slices. I’ll talk about that in the latter part of this article.

For this low carb hummus recipe, we won’t make use of chickpeas. We’ll use roasted cauliflower instead and I bet you, you will hardly tell the difference because this tastes really close to chicken peas. Sometimes when I eat paleo hummus that I prepared and I totally forget I didn’t make them with regular everyday hummus. They taste so alike and so good.

How To Prepare Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

Cauliflower hummus is packed with flavor but still, it is naturally dairy and gluten-free. You can already tell that it’s nutritious. Let’s get down to how you prep this hummus.

First of all, roast the cauliflower until it is extremely soft. Do not leave it at a crisp-tender state;

roast it until it is totally soft because you will need to blend it. To achieve this softness, make sure the cauliflower is touching the baking sheet and the pan. That way, they get properly roasted and evenly cooked.

Also, you want the color golden brown.

Next up, blend all the ingredients together: roasted cauliflower, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, sea salt, cumin and water. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Just in case the mixture is too thick, you can add water; 1 tablespoon at a time will do until you have gotten your desired texture. Avoid adding too much water at once as this can make the mixture too watery.

Once the mixture is nicely done, spread the roasted cauliflower hummus on a plate or in a bowl and sprinkle olive oil on it, then top with paprika, parsley, cracked pepper and kalamata olives.

If this is too extra for you, you can simply sprinkle paprika on it and eat with some sliced cucumbers (remember my brother??? Yeah!!! This is exactly how he likes his) but I’m the extra one so I go with the first.
