Vegan Cauliflower Hummus

~ 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into small florets

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray with oil or cooking spray.

Place cauliflower florets on baking sheet. Spray with additional oil or cooking spray. Roast for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven and cool.

Combine cauliflower, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in food processor. Process until smooth. Add water one tablespoon at a time for a thinner consistency, if desired.
