Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
- Arrange the 400 g (14 oz) cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle the 1/3 teaspoon flaked sea salt evenly over the florets.
- Roast for about 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden and tender. Remove from the oven and allow the cauliflower to cool completely.
- While the cauliflower cools, zest ½ lemon and juice the whole lemon. Mince the garlic clove.
- Place the cooled cauliflower, 1/4 cup (60 g) tahini, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, the lemon juice and lemon zest, and the minced garlic into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Add water up to 8 tablespoons in 1-tablespoon increments, blending between additions, until the hummus reaches your desired thinness.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a couple of minutes; longer blending will yield a smoother texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and finish with a pinch of paprika. Serve.
Notes
Notes
3.4g net carbs per portion. 1 portion is 3 tbsp. Recipe makes about 1 ⅓ cups of hummus in total.
NOTE: a standard blender will not achieve a super creamy consistency. If you do not have a high speed blender, a food processor can be used but it will not be as smooth.
Storage: Tupperware in the fridge for 4-7 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 6 months.
