Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Toss cauliflower with 1 tablespoon olive oil and roast 25 minutes until soft and golden.
  2. Let the cauliflower cool slightly, then add to a food processor.
  3. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and remaining olive oil.
  4. Blend until completely smooth, adding a splash of water if needed.
  5. Scrape into a bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, and serve with veggie sticks.

Notes

Roasting instead of boiling gives it a deeper, nuttier flavor.
