Creamy Cauliflower Hummus

My all-time favourite Hummus

Hummus. Minus the chickpeas. Say What!?

And, this is my all-time favourite Hummus. I feel a little guilty saying that because I do love my chickpeas. But, when it comes to Hummus, I like mine creamy from roasted cauliflower. Have you tried hummus with Cauliflower before? If not you need to and I have the perfect recipe for you.

This Cauliflower Hummus is:

Creamy
Light
Full of fibre
Incredibly flavourful and;
Good for you!

I love to slather this hummus on freshly toasted sourdough and top with grilled asparagus to make a café-worthy brunch.

It’s also wonderful with crackers or just eaten straight off the spoon, how I mostly eat this because I promise, it’s THAT good.

I have listed this recipe as yielding 4 servings. Please keep in mind I have counted 4 servings when used as very thick generous spread on 2 large pieces of sour dough toast x 4 servings. If you’re serving this with crackers, it’s going to go a lot further than 4 servings however I will warn you, it will be easily demolished because, YUM.

If you have any questions or if you make this recipe, or even have an idea for a recipe you would like to see ‘veganised’, drop me a comment below or let me know on Instagram @theplantritionist
