Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • cup chives
  • ½ cup almonds chopped
  • ½ cup golden raisins

Hummus (makes more than needed for recipe)

  • 1 can 15-oz chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • ¾ cup tahini
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ¾ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½- ¾ cup ice water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Cut your cauliflower into small florets then season with garlic powder, salt, pepper and roast for 15-20 minutes
  • Chop your chives and set aside. Chop your almonds then heat on a pan over medium heat for 2-5 minutes until browned
  • Then assemble your hummus by adding the garlic clove, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and cumin in a food processor and process (about 1 min)
  • Then pour in the ice water a bit at a time through the top of the processor while it’s still running until the hummus starts to look lighter in color (about 1-2 mins)
  • Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to the processor and process for about 2-3 minutes until everything is combined. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated
  • Spread your hummus on a plate then top with your roasted cauliflower, chopped almonds, chives, golden raisins, and spices. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil
  • Storage: keep your cauliflower, hummus, and chives in separate containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep your raisins and toasted almonds in separate containers on the countertop
