Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower cut into florets
½ cup Tahini
2 Cloves Garlic roughly chopped
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided, plus more for garnish
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped, plus more for garnish
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Salt
¼ tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl or ramekin, mix the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin until well combined.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and the spice mix.
Use your hands and toss well to combine, making sure each floret is nicely coated.
Bake for 20 minutes, undisturbed, or until tender. Then, take the pan out of the oven and toss. Return to the oven and roast an additional 10 minutes until caramelized and charred. Allow to cool to the touch before handling.
Remove a few of the roasted cauliflower florets (the nicest looking/smaller ones!) to reserve for garnishing the top of the hummus.
In the body of a food processor or high speed blender, add the cooled cauliflower florets, tahini, lemon juice, rest of the olive oil, a tbsp of chopped parsley, and the garlic.
Process until nice and smooth*
Spread the cauliflower hummus out into a bowl or dish.
Top with extra chopped parsley, reserved roasted florets and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with veggie sticks, tortilla chips, crackers, or on salads or bowls.

Notes

If needed/desired, you can add water, 1/2 a tbsp at a time to reach your desired consistency.
