4.) Cauliflower continued: Turn down your oven to 350°F. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, throw away the tin foil cover, brush the top with ¾ of the spiced oil and place back in the oven. Let the cauliflower roast for 35-40 minutes. It should be done when the top is a little charred and golden brown.

Tips

-----------------------------------------


  • For a smooth hummus, stream the water slowly while blending in the food processor. Add more or less water, depending on your preferred consistency. I used 2/3 of the hummus in this recipe but feel free to use it all. Store leftovers in an airtight container and it stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • My oven runs hotter than most so I roasted at 350°F. Turn it up to 375°C to ensure charring, but keep an eye and adjust every 10 minutes.

Q&A

-----------------------------------------


  • What other herbs work in this recipe? Basil, cilantro and curly parsley are good 1:1 substitutions, or add a mixture into the spiced oil for your own version.

What other spices work in this recipe? Cayenne, chili powder and dried oregano are good 1:1 substitutions, or add a mixture into the spiced oil for your own version.
