Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients on your counter to ensure a smooth cooking process and avoid missing any components.
  2. Blend Base Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the pumpkin puree, tahini, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend these ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Incorporate Olive Oil: While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until you achieve a creamy, smooth texture that is typical of hummus.
  4. Season to Taste: Pause the blending to taste your hummus, then adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to perfectly balance flavors.
  5. Serve: Transfer the pumpkin hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds if desired for added texture and seasonal flair.
  6. Accompany: Serve the hummus with pita chips or an assortment of fresh vegetables for dipping, making it ideal for entertaining during fall gatherings.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling to avoid added sugars and spices.
  • Adjust garlic and lemon juice quantities according to taste preferences.
  • To toast pumpkin seeds, dry roast in a skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smoother hummus, blend for an extra minute or two until completely creamy.
