Ingredients
Scale
1 cup roasted pumpkin (fresh or canned)
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Water (as needed for consistency)
Pumpkin seeds (for garnish, optional)
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool, then scoop the flesh into a bowl.
In a food processor, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas.
To the chickpeas, add roasted pumpkin, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Process the mixture until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste your hummus and adjust seasoning as necessary. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or spices according to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley if desired.
