Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 lemon juiced (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons iced water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste, as desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin plus more to taste, as desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Smoked paprika and pumpkin seeds (optional for sprinkling over the top before serving)

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Reserve 1 tablespoon olive oil for the topping. Process or blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl or pitcher.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over the top and serve with raw veggies, chips and/or crackers. Also, wonderful as a topping for sweet potatoes, salads and wraps.

Notes

You can easily double this recipe to make enough for a party. Leftovers will keep fresh for up to 7 days in an airtight container. We do not recommend freezing hummus, as the texture will not be quite right after thawing.
