Description

This easy keto hummus recipe is a delicious, low-carb snack made with cauliflower or zucchini, tahini, olive oil, and flavorful spices. Perfect for dipping or spreading!

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups zucchini, peeled and chopped raw
  • 3/4 cup tahini, sesame paste
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika, to taste

Instructions

  • If using cauliflower, cut it into florets and steam until tender. This softens the cauliflower, making it blend smoothly.
  • If opting for zucchini, simply chop it; there's no need to cook it as it blends well in its raw form.
  • In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the steamed cauliflower or raw zucchini with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and a bit of salt.
  • Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  • If the hummus is too thick, you can add a little water or additional olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. You might want to add more lemon juice for tanginess, garlic for pungency, or salt for overall flavor enhancement.
  • Transfer the hummus to a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together and the hummus to firm up slightly.
  • Before serving, drizzle a little olive oil over the top and sprinkle with paprika or fresh herbs for color and extra flavor.
  • Serve the Keto Hummus with an assortment of keto-friendly vegetables like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks. It also pairs well with keto crackers or as a spread on low-carb wraps.
