Keto Roasted Garlic Hummus

This roasted garlic hummus is a bit bolder than the hummus you’re used to but is definitely worth trying. It has a unique kick, a creamy texture, and a deep smoky flavor. You can enjoy this dip as a snack with some veggies or paired with chicken for lunch or dinner.

Is hummus Keto?

Traditional hummus recipes are not Low-Carb because the base ingredient is chickpeas. This version, however, uses cauliflower, which is an excellent substitute for chickpea. Adding roasted garlic elevates the cauliflower flavor and leaves you with a delicious smoky dip. The remaining ingredients include tahini, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice, which are all Keto-friendly.

Is hummus healthy?

Whether hummus is healthy or not depends on the ingredients used. This roasted garlic hummus uses all whole food ingredients suitable for many diets. Consider using organic vegetables, spices, and condiments to ensure optimum nutrition.

How to get perfectly roasted garlic?

Roasting garlic gives it a sweeter (but still garlicky) flavor with less bite. It’s a great way to add a whole new depth of flavor to dishes, including this hummus. To make roasted garlic, crush the cloves and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Wrap them in aluminum foil and bake at 350F/180C for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fork-tender.

How long will this Keto hummus last?

You can keep this dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator overnight or for 6 hours on the countertop.

    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower and garlic are tender and golden. Check on the garlic after 10 minutes, as it may cook faster than the cauliflower. Transfer them to the bowl of your food processor.

  • Step 4

    Add 2 tbsp of olive oil, the tahini, lemon juice, and remaining salt. Pulse until everything is thoroughly combined and smooth. If the hummus is too thick for your liking, add 1-2 tbsp of water and pulse again.
