Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Hummus
Since becoming a Nutritionist, one of the common things I hear from people is they struggle with snacks. That is, they don't know what to eat, or they run out of ideas really quickly and become bored.

Well guys, I got you! This roasted cauliflower and garlic hummus is delicious! You can smear it onto a seed cracker with some tomato or serve yourself a bowl and grab some vegetable sticks to dip in it. I personally love red capsicum, cucumber, celery and carrot...but the choice is yours!

I wanted to make a low-carb version of hummus as a low-carb diet has been shown to be beneficial for hormone conditions. That meant I needed to swap out the chickpeas for something else. Enter the humble cauliflower. Isn't this vegetable one of the most diverse?! It blows my mind!

I digress. Another reason I wanted to ditch the chickpeas is they can be very difficult for many people to digest. Gut health is where it is at for physical and emotional wellbeing, so I like to ensure I do everything I can to support it.

Whip this bad boy up and let me know what you serve it with. Enjoy!
