Roasted Cauliflower Hummus (Paleo)

I love love love traditional hummus, but chickpeas tear up my gut. Wah wah. I started making this roasted cauliflower hummus when I transitioned to a paleo diet a few years ago to satisfy my former vegan self and love of hummus. This dip is made with roasted garlic and cauliflower, tahini, lemon and cumin. It’s basically pure magic (thanks roasted garlic.) Dip veggies and crackers, smear it on a piece of gluten free bread or eat it with a spoon— however you choose to hummus!

  8. Serve with veggies or your favorite gluten-free crackers.
  9. Be sure to save the remaining roasted garlic! Add it to soups, meat dishes or wherever you need a little garlic love.
