Cauliflower Hummus Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Low-carb and keto-friendly, this cauliflower hummus is sure to become a favorite from the first bite. Youll never miss the chickpeas in this bean-free hummus, a classic mediterranean dip. Swapping in cauliflower is also a great way to sneak a few extra veggies into your familys meals without anyone being the wiser. The cauliflower is sauted in a skillet, but you can use this oven-roasted method if you like. Once cooled, it gets added to a food processor along with classic hummus ingredients like tahini and processed until it forms a smooth, creamy dip. Youll only need the cauliflower florets to make this cauliflower hummus (you can buy them pre-cut in most grocery stores), but dont toss those stalks. Use them to make this creamy mashed cauliflower or a small pot of this cauliflower soup. You can also roast the stalks as you would florets for a thrifty side dish or grate them to use for cauliflower rice. Crisp, fresh veggies pair perfectly with this homemade cauliflower hummus. Prep a batch of veggies in advance, and store them in a container in the fridge so youre ready to quench snack cravings as they hit. If youre sticking to a low-carb or keto regimen, go for crunchy vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, cucumbers, and celery, which will satisfy that craving for crackers or chips. A quick tip: microwave broccoli for 1 to 2 minutes, just enough to take the earthy edge off while still retaining crunch. While we love this low-carb, keto-friendly cauliflower hummus for curing snack attacks, it can also double as a quick sauce to coat zoodles.
