Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower florets

  * about 4 cups
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  * divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  * fresh squeezed

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 425°F
• 2 Toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Spread onto a
  baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
• 3 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
  (see notes).
• 4 Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork tender. Transfer the
  cauliflower to a food processor fitted with a blade.
• 5 If the garlic needs more time to roast, return it to the oven until it's light
  brown and very soft.
• 6 Add the roasted garlic, tahini, and lemon juice to the food processor.
• 7 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.
• 8 Taste and season with salt and pepper and/or more lemon juice.
• 9 Garnish with paprika, smoked paprika, parsley, cilantro, and/or pine nuts, if
  desired.
