Ingredients:

2 tbsp hummus
30g
1/2 cauliflower
420g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the cauliflower:
- Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower in half. Save one half for another recipe.
- Cut the remaining half into bite-sized florets.
3. Toss the florets in a bowl with a small drizzle of olive oil (optional) and a pinch of salt and pepper. This step enhances the flavor and helps with browning, but it's optional based on dietary preferences.
4. Spread the cauliflower florets evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden-brown and tender. Shake the pan halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
6. Prepare the Hummus Dip:
- Place the 2 tablespoons of hummus in a small serving bowl. If desired, you can garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, a drizzle of olive oil, or some chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve:
- Once the cauliflower bites are done roasting, let them cool slightly.
- Arrange the roasted cauliflower bites over the hummus dip.
8. Enjoy your healthy and delicious cauliflower bites with hummus dip, perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish!

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before you start preparing the cauliflower. This ensures that the oven is ready to roast the cauliflower to perfection.

- For even roasting, cut the cauliflower into similar-sized florets. This allows them to cook evenly and achieve a consistent texture.

- Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This enhances the flavor and helps them become golden and crispy.

- Roast the cauliflower for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure all sides are evenly cooked.

- Serve the roasted cauliflower bites immediately with a side of hummus for dipping. You can also sprinkle fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice over the cauliflower for extra flavor.

- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, smoked paprika, or nutritional yeast to add a unique twist to your cauliflower bites.

Cauliflower bites with hummus dip is a quick, easy, and delicious recipe that is sure to please any crowd.
