How to Make Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus

What You Need to Make This Recipe

To make this recipe you will need a head of cauliflower, tahini, garlic, lemon, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Prep!

Preheat your oven to 425°F.

Cut the cauliflower into florets. If you are not going to roast the entire head of garlic, you will need to remove 4 cloves.

Create!

Toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Spread onto a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.

Place the garlic cloves on a piece of foil and drizzle on a small amount of olive oil. Wrap tightly and place on the baking sheet next to the cauliflower.

Tip: if preferred, you can roast an entire head of garlic and use the extra for other recipes. To see how to roast an entire head of garlic please visit this post on How to Roast Garlic + 10 Ways to Use It.

Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork tender. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor fitted with a blade.

If the garlic needs more time to roast, return it to the oven until it’s lightly browned and very soft.

Add the roasted garlic, tahini, and lemon juice to the food processor.

Turn on the processor while slowly drizzling in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add more olive oil, if needed, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.

Taste and season with salt, pepper, or lemon juice, as needed.

Present!

You can serve this Cauliflower Hummus as is, or garnish it with paprika, smoked paprika, parsley, cilantro, or pine nuts.
