Roasted Cauliflower & Chickpea Hummus

Hummus is a great snack but commercially prepared hummus is high in sodium/preservatives. This low sodium hummus recipe is a great kidney friendly option!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil divided
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ cup canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ⅛-¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cold water if needed
  • Optional topping: a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • Lay out cauliflower florets and garlic cloves on a baking tray. Drizzle avocado oil and season with pepper, half of the salt, and toss well to coat. Cover sheet pan with foil and roast for 15 minutes. Remove foil, toss vegetables, and return to the oven uncovered to roast for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • In a food processor, add cooled roasted cauliflower and garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, extra virgin olive oil, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth, occasionally stopping to scrape the sides of the food processor. Add 1 tbsp of cold water if needed to reach your desired consistency and blend for another 30 seconds.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, then transfer to a serving bowl and top with an optional extra drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of paprika to serve. Enjoy as a dip with veggies or chips, a condiment for a sandwich wrap or sandwiches, or dressings for salad or grain bowls.

Notes

You may have heard that nuts, beans, and whole grains are not a great choice for a kidney-friendly diet because they are high in phosphorus.  Wondering why we include them in many of our recipes?  We include beans, nuts, and whole grains because only about 40% of phosphorus found in these plant foods are absorbed by humans. This makes them a good fit for most people's diets! If you have questions about adding these foods to your diet, please reach out to your dietitian.
