Hummus is way more than just a dip. This delicious mix is made from simple chickpeas, rich tahini, a splash of lemon juice, hearty garlic, and smooth olive oil. It’s a big part of Middle Eastern food but has easily become a favorite in kitchens worldwide.

Combining smooth and tangy hummus with the nutty, slightly sweet vibes of roasted cauliflower hits differently. It’s an amazing taste experience for food lovers. 

Why This Dish Will Win Your Heart

Even though you must wait for the cauliflower to roast, this meal is easy to make and ready in under 30 minutes. You’ll love its simplicity. 

Ingredients

Roasted Cauliflower:

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 TBS olive oil
• 1/2 TBS kosher salt
• 1 TBS each of paprika, cumin, and oregano
• A pinch of black pepper

Hummus

Homemade is our favourite, but feel free to grab store-bought hummus if you’re in a hurry!

• 2 14-ounce cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 TBS Tahini
• 1 1/2 TBS kosher salt
• Juice of two lemons (more or less to taste)

Serve with:

• Chopped fresh tomato
• Minced fresh parsley
• Soft-boiled egg or pulled rotisserie chicken
• Warm pita
• Harissa
• Olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper

Instructions

Step 1 For Cauliflower

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle on some oil, then toss it with the spices. Pop it in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes.

Step 2 For Hummus 

You could totally go for some store-bought hummus to make things easier. If not, peel the skin off all those chickpeas. It takes a bit of time (around 20 minutes), but trust me, you’ll end up with the smoothest hummus ever! Once you’re done peeling (optional but highly recommended), throw those chickpeas in a blender or food processor along with all the other goodies like olive oil, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Blend until it’s super smooth and creamy.

Step 3 For Serving

Spread a nice, thick layer of hummus on a plate. Pile on some cauliflower. Toss in some chopped tomatoes, fresh parsley, harissa, a soft-boiled egg, or whatever suits your taste. Drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Yum! You are done with the recipe now. 

Hey Reminder

You can enjoy this dish, hot or cold! If you’re feeling adventurous, add some tahini to the hummus. Don’t worry if you don’t have it; the hummus tastes great either way. Try ground beef, grilled chicken, or halloumi for some protein variety.
