Overview[edit | edit source]

Keto Hummus is a low-carb twist on traditional hummus, replacing chickpeas with cauliflower to reduce carb content while retaining a smooth, creamy texture.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

Preparation[edit | edit source]

1. Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 10 minutes. 2. Drain the cauliflower and let it cool. 3. In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. 4. Process until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a little water or more olive oil to reach the desired consistency. 5. Season with salt and pepper. 6. Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and some fresh parsley.

Serving Suggestions[edit | edit source]

  • Serve with keto-friendly veggie sticks, such as cucumber, bell peppers, or celery.
  • Use as a spread for keto bread or crackers.
  • A perfect side to grilled meats or fish.
