Crispy Cauliflower Hummus Dream
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, toss cauliflower florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast cauliflower for 20 minutes. Toss and roast for another 10 minutes, until tender and charred.
- While cauliflower roasts, prepare the infused oil: combine chopped herbs, grated garlic, and a pinch of smoked paprika and chili flakes (optional) in a heat-proof bowl.
- Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until it sizzles (about 5 minutes).
- Carefully pour the hot oil over the herb and garlic mixture. Stir to combine. Let it infuse.
- Spread the plain hummus in a shallow serving bowl. Top with the crispy roasted cauliflower, then generously spoon the herb-infused oil over everything. Serve immediately with pita bread or chips.
Notes
– Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting cauliflower; give it space to get crispy.
– Adjust the spice levels of paprika and chili powder to your preference.
Pro tips

- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting cauliflower; give it space to get crispy.
