Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 whole cauliflower
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ bunch fresh coriander leaves, to serve
  • 120g pumpkin seeds
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 120mL water or aquafaba
  • 60mL olive oil
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method


  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-forced).
  • Cut the base of the cauliflower to ensure it sits flat, then place the cauliflower head in a roasting dish.
  • Mix the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, paprika, cumin and seasoning together in a small bowl. Brush all over the cauliflower to coat evenly.
  • Roast cauliflower for 50 mins or longer if it’s large.
  • Toast pumpkin seeds for 15 mins or until crisp. You can do this on a lined oven tray while the cauliflower is roasting, or in a dry pan on the stovetop, tossing regularly.
  • Allow them to cool a little and then blend with the rest of the hummus ingredients to form a paste.
  • Serve the cauliflower on top of the hummus and scatter over the coriander leaves.
  • Cut slices of the roasted cauliflower, spread some hummus on top and enjoy!
