Notes
Tips:
- Roast the cauliflower: Roasting the cauliflower will give it a nutty and slightly sweet flavor that will enhance the taste of the hummus. Chop the cauliflower into small florets, toss them in oil and seasoning, and roast in the oven until golden brown.
- Use tahini: Tahini is a crucial ingredient in traditional hummus and works well in keto-friendly cauliflower hummus. Look for tahini made from just sesame seeds without added oils or sugars.
- Add garlic and lemon juice: These ingredients will give your cauliflower hummus a bright and tangy flavor. You can adjust the garlic and lemon juice amount to suit your taste.
- Use olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy fat that will give your hummus a creamy texture and rich flavor. Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best results.
- Add spices: Spices like cumin, paprika, and coriander can add depth and complexity to your hummus. You can also experiment with other spices to find your perfect flavor combination.
- Adjust the consistency: Depending on how you like your hummus, you may want to adjust the consistency. If it's too thick, add more olive oil or water to thin it out. If it's too thin, add more cauliflower or tahini to thicken it up.
- Serve with keto-friendly dippers: Cauliflower hummus pairs well with keto-friendly dippers like cucumber slices, celery sticks, or pork rinds. You can also use it as a spread on keto-friendly wraps or sandwiches.
