Low Carb Cauliflower Hummus

I love this low carb lifestyle, but I have really been missing hummus. As you all know I am a huge believer in clean keto and have been doing my best to share all of the clean keto recipes that I come across. This hummus recipe is healthy, low carb, and makes a great base for all other hummus flavors if you want to spice it up a little. I definitely recommend giving this recipe a try, and if you are looking for something to pair it with the Joseph's bread pictured above is a great low carb option! Only 5 net carbs per pita!!

Ingredients

• 3 cups raw cauliflower florets
• 2 Tbsp water
• 2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1.5 Tbsp Tahini paste
• 3 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 raw garlic cloves, crushed (in addition to above)
• 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• smoked paprika and extra olive oil for serving

Directions

1. Combine the cauliflower, water, 2 Tbsp avocado or olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 3 whole garlic cloves to a microwave safe dish. Microwave for about 15 minutes – or until softened and darkened in color.
2. Put the cauliflower mixture into a magic bullet, blender, or food processor and blend. Add the tahini paste, lemon juice, 2 raw garlic cloves, 3 Tbsp olive oil, and 3/4 tsp kosher salt. Blend until mostly smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
3. To serve, place the hummus in a bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika. Use thinly sliced tart apples, celery sticks, raw radish chips, or other veggies to dip with.
