4. Roast garlic for 15 minutes in the oven.
5. Add the pan of cauliflower to the oven and roast for 30 minutes or until cauliflower is soft and just starting to brown
6. Remove cauliflower and garlic from the oven and allow it to cool.
7. When cool enough to handle, open the garlic pack and squeeze garlic cloves out of the skin into a Vitamix blender.
8. Add roasted cauliflower, 2 tbsp olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and 4 tbsp of almond milk to blender. If you like a thinner hummus you might need to add a bit more almond milk.
9. Blend until creamy on power 4 scraping sides down every few minutes. It took me about 4 minutes to get the smooth consistency I wanted.
