Ingredients

For Roasted Cauliflower

For Chili Herb Oil

  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon agave
  • 1 zest of whole lemon
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ cup high smoke point neutral oil (like avocado)

For Hummus

  • 2 cups canned chickpeas drained and washed, but reserve the liquid (aquafaba)
  • ½ cup tahini, keeping some of the oil
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, more or less to taste
  • 1 juice from whole lemon
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, more or less to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, more or less to taste

Instructions

For Roasted Cauliflower

  • Preheat oven to 425°F(218°C). Spray oil over a large baking sheet and then spread cauliflower florets across in a single layer. Drizzle with oil.
  • Mix all the spices for the cauliflower together in a small bowl and then sprinkle evenly across cauliflower. Toss together to coat all of the cauliflower. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.

For Chili Herb Oil

  • Combine all spices for the oil into a heat proof bowl. Then, heat oil over medium heat in small sauce pan for 4-5 minutes. Use wooden spatula and it will bubble when ready. Carefully pour oil over spices (it will bubble/pop). When settled, stir together well.

For Hummus

  • All add your hummus ingredients to a food processor and blend together until smooth. Slowly, add aquafaba (reserved canned chickpea liquid) until desired texture has been achieved.
  • To serve, spread hummus onto the bottom of a bowl or plate. Top with roasted cauliflower and drizzle with desired amount of chili herb oil. If desired, add green onions or sesame seeds to the top. Serve with naan or crusty bread on the side.
