Pumpkin Hummus

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.
