Ingredients

• 1 cup Roasted red peppers
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by chopping the cauliflower florets into small pieces. Steam the cauliflower for about 10 minutes or until very tender.

Step 2

While the cauliflower is steaming, roast the red peppers if not using pre-roasted. To do this, place whole peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides. Once cooled, remove the skins, seeds, and stems.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and water.

Step 4

Process the mixture for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the hummus is smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed—for more tang, add additional lemon juice; for more spice, add extra pepper or cumin.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika if desired.

Step 7

Serve the hummus with low-carb options such as sliced cucumbers, celery sticks, or almond flour crackers.
