Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 can Canned Chickpeas Essential for that creamy texture; feel free to substitute dried chickpeas that you soak and cook.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Adds a delicious autumn flavor; fresh pumpkins can work, just ensure they’re well-purged of water.
For the Flavor
  • 3 tbsp Tahini Contributes rich nuttiness; if you’re nut-free, you can swap in sunflower seed butter or leave it out.
  • 1 clove Garlic Introduces a savory kick; adjust the amount based on your personal preference.
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice Balances the sweetness with its brightness; fresh juice works wonders here!
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Enhances creaminess; drizzle on top right before sealing for storage.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Spices (e.g., cumin, paprika) These add depth; feel free to adapt them to match your taste.
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential to elevate the flavor; use it generously, but remember to taste as you go!

Equipment

  • Food Processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Hummus
  1. Gather all your ingredients at room temperature for optimal blending. Open the canned chickpeas and drain them.
  2. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, pumpkin puree, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until smooth.
  3. Continue blending for an additional minute, check the texture. If too thick, slowly add water or olive oil.
  4. Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or additional spices if needed.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle olive oil on top, and sprinkle paprika or herbs. Serve with pita, veggies, or chips.
  6. Store in an airtight container with a drizzle of olive oil on top. It will last 5-7 days in the fridge.
