• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons water

Step 1

Begin by bringing a medium pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the florets are tender.

Step 2

Drain the cooked cauliflower florets and allow them to cool slightly for handling comfort.

In a food processor, combine the cooled cauliflower florets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 4

Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve your desired hummus consistency. You may use more or less water depending on preference.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as you desire.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for added flavor.

Step 7

Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Enjoy with fresh vegetables or as a spread in compliant dishes.
