Cauliflower hummus:
I know what you all are thinking, cauliflower hummus? Yes it is a thing and I personally enjoy it better than regular hummus. I created this recipe last year when I was doing a Whole30 and it has been a part of my meal rotation since then.
Meal prep:
I like to meal prep this hummus on Sunday and serve it throughout the week with a variety of meals. But my favorite type of meal to enjoy it with is Mediterranean food.
Ingredients you will need:
This recipe only requires 8 ingredients most likely already in your pantry and refrigerator.
- Cauliflower
- Garlic cloves
- Turmeric
- Cumin
- Avocado oil or olive oil
- Juice of a lemon
- Tahini
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to prepare:
I first roast my cauliflower which I seasoned with avocado oil spray, salt + pepper, turmeric, cumin, and add the whole cloves of garlic. I bake 400 F for 25 minutes and once done I let cool before transferring to my food processor.
Making the hummus:
Once the cauliflower has cooled for about 5 minutes, I then transfer to my food processor along with the rest of the ingredients, and process until I reach my desired consistency. I like mine thick, but if you want a thinner consistency feel free to add more avocado oil or olive oil.
What to enjoy it with:
I love making this when we are planning having build your own Mediterranean bowls at home. But it really pairs nicely with a variety of meals or as a simple snack for dipping vegetables in.
