Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

We’ve always been addicted to fresh homemade hummus and after different versions we were wanting to experiment with something new. Thinking about a low carb version that can still be vegan and plant based, we thought about all the possibilities of cauliflower. So voila, the experiment to make a really good cauliflower hummus recipe was in pursuit. After a few experiments, we realized that roasting the cauliflower brought the best concentrated flavor and texture to this awesome healthy “hummus”. After another trial, our roasted cauliflower hummus recipe is truly amazing and delicious! Everyone we shared it with was blown away at how delicious and easy it was to make.

It was especially exciting to know how low carb this cauliflower “humus” is and there is no loss of flavor nor texture.  Best of all, it’s keto. We roasted the cauliflower to a nice crisp and color. All the excess moisture is cooked out and what’s left is a purely delicious roasted cauliflower flavor. With the addition of fresh garlic, tahini and other spices this fantastic low carb “hummus” was a true hit. It’s great for everyone who needs a paleo hummus or are on the keto or ketosis diet. Spread it on a sandwich for another awesome flavor. It definitely replaces all the usual dairy spreads like mayo or cheese. Seriously, you don’t need any of the dairy because this cauliflower “hummus” spreads and is jam packed with flavor to replace your cheese. Enjoy! More Hummus Recipes Here and Vegetarian Recipes.

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

This is an awesome alternative to regular chick pea hummus. Roasted cauliflower replaces the white beans as the base. Add more olive oil and blend it more to make it extra creamy. You'll have to use a rubber spatula to keep stirring the cauliflower down into the blender blades or food processor blades to get the cauliflower to puree. It takes some patience, but what you'll end up with is a wonderful creamy cauliflower dip!
