Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower cut into large pieces
  • 2 tablespoon tahini
  • 1.5 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 garlic clove optional
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white distilled vinegar optional
  • pinch pink himalayan salt
  • pinch turmeric or sweet paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • When the oven is at temperature, drizzle about half a tablespoon of olive oil over the cauliflower and roast for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Once the cauliflower has cooled, add to a blender alongside the other ingredients except the turmeric or sweet paprika. Blend until you have the consistency you like.
  • Serve in a dish with a sprinkle of turmeric or sweet paprika, and enjoy with crackers, crudites or other dishes.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the cauliflower in the last ten minutes of cook time. The time required will vary slightly depending upon how small the florets are.
  • Add more olive oil or water if the hummus comes out too thick for your preference.
  • If you prefer to stick to foods rated 0 on the SIGHI list, then swap out apple cider vinegar for white distilled vinegar. Or you can omit the vinegar.
  • The garlic can also be omitted if you prefer it without.
