Pumpkin Hummus

Jump to Recipe

I can be a bit picky with pumpkin in savory recipes—I never want it to taste too sweet or overpower the other ingredients. This Smoky Pumpkin Hummus is my idea of a perfect savory pumpkin recipe. The pumpkin adds just a touch of subtle sweetness and a rich, creamy texture, while the spices balance it all out. It’s smoky, savory, and feels just right for fall.

Smoky Pumpkin Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1 cup pumpkin purée

• 1 tbsp tahini 

• Juice from 1 lemon

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika 

• 1/2 cumin 

• 1/2 curry powder 

• Pumpkin seeds and smoked paprika for garnish 

• Crackers and veggies for serving (rosemary crackers and carrots are my favorite with this recipe!)

To make:

1. Add the chickpeas, pumpkin, tahini, lemon, olive oil, salt, and all the spices to a high power blender or food processor and blend until the hummus is completely smooth. 

2. Scoop into a bowl and sprinkle with smoked paprika and pumpkin seeds for garnish. Serve with crackers and veggies.
