🔪 How to Make Roasted Garlic Hummus
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut the top portion off your head of garlic and place in a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and a pinch of salt, then place on a baking sheet.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 20 minutes.
While the garlic is roasting, wash, dry and cut your cauliflower into small florets.
After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and move the garlic in foil over to one side. Pour the cauliflower on the baking sheet, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half the salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then continue roasting in the oven for another 25 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and carefully open up the aluminum foil to expose the roasted garlic.
Transfer the roasted garlic, while still hot, to a high powered blender or food processor. Gently squeeze out the roasted cloves of garlic and add them over the cauliflower, along with the tahini, remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, lemon and remaining salt.
Puree until smooth and creamy.
If it’s too thick, add in a tiny bit more olive oil and lemon juice, and continue blending until it reaches your desired texture. It should be nice and thick, but creamy and easily scoop-able.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil over the tip alongside fresh veggies or Keto friendly crackers.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

- Raw broccoli

💡 Tips
- Don’t remove the cauliflower from the oven too soon. You want to see that the edges are caramelized first, as this will give the hummus more flavor.
- Be sure to taste it while it’s still in the blender and before serving. If it needs a little more olive oil, lemon or salt, now is the time to add it, so you can thoroughly blend it throughout the hummus.
- Be patient in blending, giving the cauliflower plenty of time to break down so that you get a smooth and creamy result. You definitely don’t want chunks of cauliflower in your hummus.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- To add a little smokiness, add in 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
- For extra flavor, you can also add in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin.
- For a spicy kick, you can add in some red pepper flakes.
- To amplify the lemon flavor, add in the zest from 1 lemon before pureeing.
- You can add in some roasted red peppers, as I did in this recipe. The flavors are amazing!
