Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower , cut into smaller florets
  • 10 small cloves garlic (less if the cloves are larger)
  • 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 Tbs tahini
  • 4 Tbs +1 Tbs olive oil (divided- 4 tbs for the hummus, 1 tbs to roast the vegetables)
  • 4 Tbs lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • sweet dried basil for garnish
  • cumin for garnish
  • olive oil for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil and pour 1 Tbs olive oil on top. I use a silicone bbq basting brush to evenly spread out the olive oil on the pan.
  • Put the naked garlic cloves and cauliflower florets on the pan.
  • Put the vegetables in the oven. Make sure to flip them after 20 minutes and put them back in. Take the garlic out at 30 mins. Take the cauliflower out at 45 minutes.
  • Let the vegetables cool.
  • Then put the cauliflower, garlic cloves, sun dried tomatoes, tahini, 4 Tbs olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cumin into a blender or food processor ( I used a ninja ).
  • Blend the ingredients until they turn into a hummus texture. I had to stop blending to scrape the sides of the blender with a spatula about 4-5 times. This all should take about 5 minutes, depending on the setting of your blender.
  • Once the hummus is done, garnish it with some cumin, basil, and olive oil, and enjoy!
