Ingredients
- Hummus:
- A generous portion of tender cauliflower rice, cooked to perfection
- Chopped roasted red peppers, about 4 ounces, carefully drained and prepared
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice, precisely 3 tablespoons for a zesty kick
- Creamy tahini, 3 tablespoons to enhance the texture
- Roughly chopped garlic clove, adding a hint of pungency
- A touch of heat with ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Warm notes of cumin, ½ teaspoon for depth of flavor
- Sea salt, just the right amount at ½ teaspoon to season harmoniously
- Plantain Chips:
- Two vibrant green plantains, ripe for transformation
- A drizzle of avocado oil, around 2 tablespoons or as needed for a crispy finish
- A pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick
- Smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon to infuse a smoky essence
- Sprinkling of sea salt to taste, adding the perfect final touch
Step 1
Mix together cauliflower rice, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cayenne, cumin, and sea salt in a food processor. Blitz until the texture is smooth yet still slightly chunky, taking around 1 minute. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
Step 2
Before beginning, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with aluminum foil and brushing with a coat of avocado oil.
Step 3
Using a mandoline slicer, carefully cut the plantains into thin chips. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets in a single layer.
Step 4
Brush each plantain chip lightly with avocado oil and then sprinkle with a mix of cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
Step 5
Bake the chips in the preheated oven using the convection setting until they turn golden brown and crispy, typically around 10 to 12 minutes. If your oven lacks a convection option, the chips may need a bit more time, so keep a close eye to prevent burning. Once done, transfer the chips to a paper-towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 6
Serve the plantain chips alongside the flavorful roasted red pepper and cauliflower hummus for a tasty and wholesome snack.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your roasted red pepper and cauliflower dip in an airtight glass container to maintain its freshness and flavors.
- 2. Store the crunchy plantain chips in a resealable bag or container to ensure they stay crispy and delicious.
- 3. For easy access, place both the dip and the chips in the same section of your fridge or pantry for a convenient snack station.
