Roasted Jalapeno Hummus
Spice up your keto snacking with our Roasted Jalapeno Cauliflower Hummus! Low in carbs and high in flavor, this hummus alternative swaps chickpeas for cauliflower, offering a delightful kick from roasted jalapenos and red chile powder.
Ingredients
- 3 large jalapeños
- 20 ounces frozen cauliflower florets about 1 medium head
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 limes zested and juiced
- 1 tsp New Mexico chili powder
- 1/2 tsp pink salt
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Bring your oven rack to the top of your oven, and heat your broiler to high.
- Drizzle the jalapeños with a bit of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet under the broiler.
- Broil, turning as needed, until the skin has bubbled and charred.
- Remove the peppers and place them in a bowl.
- Cover the bowl tight with cling wrap and allow the peppers to steam for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, steam your cauliflower florets by placing them in a steamer basket over a large pot of simmering water for about 10-15 minutes or until tender.
- Peel the skin off the roasted jalapeno peppers (if you can't get it all that is OK).
- Remove the stem and seeds and place them in a food processor with the steamed cauliflower, garlic, tahini, lime juice, chile powder, salt, and cilantro.
- As you run the processor, drizzle the olive oil in from the top until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Add more oil if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Spoon the hummus into a bowl and sprinkle with chili powder and cilantro leaves for presentation if desired.
