This was fabulous! Best homemade hummus ever!
Cindy Dallow
Hold on just a second. This is a bowl of mega GOODNESS and we need to break it down.
Starting on the bottom in a dramatic swirl, we have the extremely creamy, garlicky hummus that you made, piled high with roasted cauliflower spiced with paprika and cumin and oregano, a speckling of fresh juicy tomatoes and parsley, a generous shower of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. You can 100% stop there, or you can be extra (#teamextra) and add some hot pulled rotisserie chicken or a beautifully soft boiled egg. Scoop that entire thing up with a warm, super-soft pita and the day just got so much better.
These hummus bowls are:
- extremely comforting
- awake with flavor
- satisfying and super-filling
- creamy
- colorful
- nutritious
- JUST SO SUPER GOOD.
You Do You, Friend

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus Bowls
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 4–5 servings 1x
Description
These Roasted Cauliflower Hummus Bowls are LIFE-CHANGING. A bed of garlicky creamy hummus, piled high with spiced roasted cauliflower, and a speckling of fresh lemony tomatoes and herbs.
Ingredients
Roasted Cauliflower:
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon each paprika, cumin, and oregano
- a pinch of black pepper
Hummus
- 2 14-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- juice of two lemons (more or less to taste)
Serve with:
- chopped fresh tomato
- minced fresh parsley
- soft boiled egg or pulled rotisserie chicken
- warm pita (😍)
- harissa
- olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper
Instructions
- Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle with oil, and toss with the spices. Roast for 25-30 minutes.
- Hummus: Optional: Peel the skin off all your chickpeas. This takes a while (about 20 minutes) but results in THE SMOOTHEST HUMMUS of your life. After the optional peeling, place chickpeas in blender or food processor with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Blend until very, very smooth.
- Plate it up: Arrange a thick swoop of hummus on a plate. Top with cauliflower. Add chopped tomatoes, fresh parsley, harissa, a soft boiled egg, whatever suits your fancy. Finish with olive oil, salt, and pepper. YUM. Happy day.
Notes
You can eat this hot or cold! You can add tahini to the hummus if you want. I don’t always have it on hand, which is why I regularly make hummus without it. And it’s delicious either way. Other protein ideas: ground beef, grilled chicken, halloumi.

Honestly I could cry when I found your creamy non dairy recipes after making Brandon’s egg roll tacos. Brandon you’re my hero, those are amazing. I’m not vegan, but I’m seriously allergic to mammalian meat or products (AGS) and this grouping of recipes just saved my whole month! Love love love!
Made this tonight and it turned out great! I used store-bought hummus; I added some garlic oil and flaky salt to jazz it up. Simple but good!
This looks and sounds like a perfect dish to try for me! I love all the ingredients and look forward to trying this!
I’m Emma. I visit this website some week. This website is very friendly and recipes is delicious. I am so glad to visit here.
So delicious and easy! Thanks!!
Just made these for lunch – beautiful and delicious! and easy if you use store bought hummus
These hummus bowls were so much better than any store-bought version I’ve had. Now they are regular snacks in my house.
I really love this recipe!
I always add Thai curry paste to my hummus to give it a nice red colour and a little extra spice.
I would have never thought to combine the cauliflower with the tomato and it was a big hit. Will be serving this at all BBQs from now on
So simple to make yet so full of flavour- it was even more delicious than I though it would be!
PS I used store bought hummus, which also worked well I thought
This was so delicious my husband and I had it two nights this week! We love bell pepper so roasted bell pepper and garlic with the cauliflower and just amazing.
Making these hummus bowls for the second time this week. They are sooooo good! My whole family raves about them. Going into regular rotation ASAP.
Made this as part of the winter meal plan and loved it. Even my “every meal should have meat” husband did too! Couldn’t stop saying how good it was. I also didn’t think you could make hummus this good without tahini, which I don’t like buying because I use it so rarely so this was great
This was delicious! Next time I will add a meat but it was honestly good with just hard boiled eggs. I never make hummus but decided to try this time and dang was it good, made enough for a small army though. I didn’t peel my chickpeas (ain’t nobody got time for that), but I did add in a couple tablespoons of the chickpea water at the end and it made it super creamy still. Delicious and overall a really easy meal!
Tried this as part of the winter meal plan and Omg!! SO good!! Can we talk about how amazing this hummus is by itself?!
Definitely going into our regular rotation. Added a soft boiled egg, tomatoes, and harissa (forgot parsley). Definitely a new fav.
So delicious! Will definitely be adding this to our regular rotation 🙂
Just wondering if the sodium content on your nutrition label is accurate? It says 1,014.2 mg and is 44%. That doesn’t seem correct. My husband is on a low sodium diet and I could not make this for him if that were the case.
I’d like to try meal prepping this but I’m wondering – would you serve leftovers hot or cold? Or maybe heat up certain ingredients (like the cauliflower) and add to the cold hummus?
The cauliflower will probably taste the best when heated, so you could pack it up separately and then add to the cold ingredients. We’d love to hear how it goes!
Live this recipe! We have hummus bowls on the reg and most of the time add zhug and/or sambal oklek to them. They’re amazing and so satisfying!
So glad to hear it, Adam! Thanks for the comment!
Yum! I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.
I made homemade pitas to go along with the bowls and they were delicious! I would recommend adding the egg or rotisserie chicken to make it a more substantial meal.
Thanks for the recipe!
So good and satisfying! A perfect meal! Make this at least once a month. So versatile but I keep it exactly as recommended because it’s just delicious.
I used Ras el hanout seasoning for the cauliflower and used my own hummus recipe. This was a great recipe to riff on. Thanks for the inspiration!
So good. I loved it.
Glad to hear it, Maureen!
I made this yesterday and it was really really yumm! The only ‘issue’ is that i blindly followed your recipe but i guess my two lemons were a lot juicier than yours because the juice of two lemons was definitely too much in the hummus. Next time i will slowly be adding it and tasting it in between 😀 But it was really good , my parents had also improved ( and its pretty hard to please them with food 😀 ) Thank you for the recipe! I am trying a different one today 🙂
Thanks for sharing! 😊
This was fabulous! Best homemade hummus ever!
Yay! So happy to hear this, Cindy! 🎉
MMM love some cauliflower. Never thought of mixing it with hummus. Great and innovative recipe!
