3. Place the cauliflower florets on a separate baking sheet. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender and the edges of the cauliflower begin to turn brown and slightly crisp. Set aside.

Add the peeled and deseeded roasted pepper, chickpeas, extra-virgin olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and water and process until very smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with the roasted cauliflower for dipping
