Keto Cauliflower Hummus

This Keto Cauliflower Hummus has all the luscious flavors of traditional hummus minus the high carb count. This is a perfect recipe for an appetizer for a party!

How to Make Keto Hummus

Hummus is a popular Middle East and Mediterranean spread made dip made from cooked chickpeas. The traditional classic ingredients include lemon juice, tahini and garlic. Today there are many additional varieties like roasted red pepper hummus, spinach and artichoke, Greek inspired, pesto, olive and even chocolate hummus. But today, a new option is presented to you, that will turn this higher carb hummus into a lower carb option, especially helpful for those of us on a keto diet. 

Swapping the standard high carb chickpea for cauliflower is the perfect solution. Both of their textures once cooked and mashed are quite similar and no one will notice the difference in flavor whatsoever. Enjoy this with some amazing Paleo Keto Crackers. 

Tools to Make Cauliflower Hummus

Baking Sheet Pans– Roasting the cauliflower is one of the only ways to get that deep rich flavor needed to pull this dip off without anyone realizing theire is cauliflower in it. Buy a fresh head and toss with olive oil, lay evenly on baking sheet pan and roast until tender. 

Food Processor-The best way to truly mash any vegetable to become nice and smooth is getting your hands on a fabulous food processor. They come in hand for so many recipes, like making my coconut flour pie crust, or my fat head dough and of course for Loaded cauliflower bake. 

Or

Potato Masher– If you don’t want to spend the money on a food processor the next best option is using a good potato masher to break done the roasted cauliflower florets. It will be hard work and you’ll need muscle but you can eventually get the job done.

  1. I made this today – it was really delicious! I scooped it up with some homemade Keto seedy crackers. Thanks for the recipe, I will make it again for sure!

  2. The ingredients list calls for 6 tbs of tahini, but the directions never state where or when to add it. So just a bit confused.
