Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 cups plain hummus
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (cilantro, dill, parsley)
  • 1 clove garlic, grated

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Roast cauliflower for 20 minutes. Toss and roast for another 10 minutes, until tender and charred.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until it sizzles (about 5 minutes).
  5. Carefully pour the hot oil over the herb and garlic mixture. Stir to combine. Let it infuse.
  6. 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

- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. A mix of cilantro, dill, and parsley works wonderfully.
- 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.
