Cauliflower Hummus
Like traditional hummus, this recipe includes chickpeas but also uses cauliflower to add to the creaminess.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) cauliflower, chopped
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice

- ¼ cup (35 g) sesame seeds
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside. Toss cauliflower florets with 2 Tablespoons olive oil, curry powder, sea salt, and pepper.
- Spread in an even layer on prepared sheet tray and bake for 20 minutes or until tender, stirring after 10 minutes. Cool.
- Place remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, chickpeas, sesame seeds, garlic, cumin, and roasted cauliflower into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1.
- Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
- Blend for 45 seconds, using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.

What a great idea!!!
Yummy and simple. I use fresh beans instead of canned ones. I grew up always using fresh beans. A little more time, but worth it to me.

Needed some more liquid
Love the taste, but it was a little too thick and wouldn't process in the Vitamix. I added some more olive oil. I may add the liquid from the beans the next time to see how that works.

The best!
I loved the fact that you did not need to use tahini. It made enough for me to share and was very easy.

Something's not right
I used the C series 64 oz container and it stops blending on number 4, and tampering down does not help. I also added about 2 more tablespoons of liquid to see if that would help and it didn't. The flavor is good, but not the texture I was hoping for, since using high is not an option on this recipe. Good for flavor, bad for performance.

Best Hummus EVER!
This recipe is easy and the flavor is AMAZING! The total time on the recipe says 5 minutes, but it's really longer than that because you have to roast the cauliflower (20 mins). I ended up substituting (unsalted) shelled sunflower seeds instead of the sesame seeds because I was out of sesame seeds. It was so delicious and creamy, I think I'll keep using the sunflower seeds in the future!
