Roasted cauliflower hummus is a delicious chickpea-free version of hummus that’s low-carb, keto, paleo and Whole30 friendly. It’s creamy, savory, veggie-packed and I think you’ll love it just as much as my authentic hummus recipe. When it comes to hummus recipes I love them all. I love my authentic hummus recipe that’s spot-on with all the hummus I enjoyed in Israel. I love my antioxidant-packed roasted beet hummus that turns a vibrant, electric pink. I love my herb-packed green hummus. And I love this cauliflower hummus that trades chickpeas for roasted cauliflower, resulting in a low-carb hummus recipe.
