About the recipe
This creamy and nourishing twist on traditional hummus combines gut-loving chickpeas with roasted cauliflower and the warm spice of cumin. It’s rich in plant-based iron, healthy fats, and fibre, making it a wonderful option for babies, toddlers, and parents alike.
The addition of tahini offers a natural calcium boost, while roasting the cauliflower brings out a subtle sweetness and smooth texture – perfect for little mouths still adjusting to solids. Whether served as a purée, a spread on toast, or a dip with veggie sticks, this simple, flavour-packed recipe is one to batch and keep on hand for easy meals and snacks.
Age Appropriate:
From around 6 months+, once sesame (allergen) has been safely introduced
Note: Tahini is made from sesame seeds, which are a common allergen. If you haven’t introduced sesame yet, start with a small amount under supervision.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve as a smooth purée for early eaters, or as a spread on baby’s first bread, crackers or toast fingers. It also makes a tasty dip for roasted veggie sticks, meatballs or fritters, and can be mixed into mashed veggies or rice to boost flavour and nutrition.
Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This recipe is not freezer friendly due to the texture change after thawing.
