Pumpkin Hummus
Pumpkin hummus is a creamy, savory dip that combines the smooth texture of traditional hummus with the subtle sweetness and earthy flavor of roasted or pureed pumpkin. It's typically seasoned with spices like cumin, paprika, or cinnamon, making it a vibrant, autumn-inspired twist on the classic chickpea-based dish.
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Tahini, stirred thoroughly
- Juice of one large lemon
- 2 Large garlic cloves minced
- 15 ounces Canned chickpeas garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Canned pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons Water
- Pinch Cayenne pepper optional
Optional garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Toasted pepitas
- Olive oil
- Roasted chickpeas
- Paprika
Instructions
- Add ingredients to the food processor and process until the mixture is smooth and no large chunks of chickpeas remain. The mixture will be very thick at this point. With the food processor running, slowly stream in the water until your desired consistency, if you would like it thinner.
- Garnish as desired. You can serve it immediately, but it’s best if chilled for at least 1 hour. Serve with pita chips or bread, veggie chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes
Be sure to stir the tahini very well just before beginning.
