Chelsey from The Paper Mama made an nifty adaptation to an already delicious Martha Stewart recipe and we couldn’t help but bring it our readers.

Directions.↓

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss cauliflower and garlic with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until cauliflower is tender and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. When garlic is cool enough to handle, remove peel.

In a food processor, combine cauliflower, garlic, beans, spinach, 1 tablespoon oil, lemon zest and juice, and 1/4 cup hot water. Process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (To store, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 3 days.)

Serve drizzled with oil.

Optional.↓

Spread your white bean, cauliflower, and spinach spread onto a tortilla. Sprinkle some cheese (colby jack or white jack cheese) and melt a quesadilla!
