Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Hummus

  • Gather all your ingredients for the Pumpkin Hummus. Have a can of pumpkin, rinsed chickpeas, tahini, fresh garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper handy.
  • In your food processor, combine the canned pumpkin, chickpeas, tahini, and garlic. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Transfer the creamy Pumpkin Hummus to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle a touch more olive oil over the surface.
  • Finally, sprinkle pumpkin seeds and a dash of paprika or cayenne pepper on top for a pop of texture and color.
