Smoky Cauliflower Hummus

• 1/2 head cauliflower (1 to 1 1/2 lbs.), trimmed and cut into 2-in. florets (about 4 cups florets)
• 4 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• About 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
• About 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 3 1/2 tablespoons well-stirred tahini

1. Preheat oven to 450u0b0. Put cauliflower florets in a large bowl and add 1 1/2 tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. salt, the cumin, chile flakes, and garlic. Toss to coat thoroughly.
2. Spread florets evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast, stirring once, until florets are cooked through and a little crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
3. Put 1/2 cup water in a blender with roasted cauliflower and garlic, lemon juice, remaining 3 tbsp. oil, the tahini, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Blend, adding more water if needed (up to 1/4 cup) and scraping sides often, until you have a creamy puree, about 4 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if you like.
4. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of smoked paprika.
5. Make ahead: Up to 3 days, chilled airtight.
