Instructions

First, prepare the roasted cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spread the cauliflower florets out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, then roast in the oven for 30 minutes until soft. Let cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Next, transfer the roasted cauliflower to a food processor. Add the water, lemon juice, tahini, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and cumin. Pulse a few times, then process on medium speed until the consistency is smooth.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with chives and serve with veggies, pretzels, or crackers for dipping.

Notes

Prep ahead tips: Since you'll need to prepare the roasted cauliflower ahead of time and let it cool before making the hummus, you can do Step 1 up to 4 hours in advance. This can be useful if you're hosting a party and you want to prep ingredients in the morning, and then be ready to quickly prepare everything right before serving. Just make sure to allow enough time to chill the hummus in the fridge before serving.

Serving size: One serving of this hummus (about 1 cup) is enough for 2 to 4 people to snack on. We suggest doubling the recipe if you're planning on serving this alongside other appetizers and snacks at a party.

Serving suggestions: Anything that you'd normally dip with classic hummus tastes great with cauliflower hummus! We love dipping carrots, bell pepper, pretzels, Triscuits, and pita chips.
