  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup pomegranate arils
  • 2 tablespoon toasted pinenuts
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss 3 cups cauliflower florets with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes or until roasted. A fork should be able to easily pierce through the thickest part of the stem.
  • Drain and rinse the cannellini beans, reserving the canned bean liquid. Combine the roasted cauliflower with cannellini beans, ¼ cup tahini, juice of ½ lemon, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender. Puree the ingredients, slowly adding ½ cup of the reserved bean liquid. Let the food processor run for another 2-3 minutes or until the dip is smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer the hummus into a bowl and top with pomegranate, pinenuts, parsley, and sesame seeds. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top and serve.
