Cauliflower is naturally rich in B-vitamins and fibre, and contains 100% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C per 100g serving.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the cauliflower florets in a bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Add the paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper and mix well. Pour out onto a parchment paper-lined sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Add the hummus ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk or water if needed before adding half of the baked cauliflower into the hummus.
- Blend again until smooth and serve the hummus with the last bit of roasted cauliflower, dukkha, pine nuts, fresh dill, and toasted bread.
