Cauliflower hummus is one of my favorite go-to recipes to throw together any time I need to serve an appetizer. I prefer this over anything I could buy in the store because it uses organic produce, safe and healthy oils and it’s low carb – not to mention, it’s delicious! And you can really bring any flavor to it that you want.
For a traditional hummus flavor, just stick to garlic, salt and pepper for seasoning. If you want to change it up, you can add curry seasoning (as mentioned in this version of the recipe) or try your favorite herbs or spices. You can even add things like roasted red peppers, beets, olives – get creative! Cauliflower is a blank slate – you can create your own adventure.
I use this hummus most often as a dip for veggies, but it’s great on burgers or salads too. Roasting the cauliflower is also optional and you can skip it in a pinch, but I really like the depth it adds to the flavor. Play around with it and see what you like best!
