Why you should make a big bowl of pumpkin hummus
It all starts with our creamiest ever hummus recipe. We use canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that we boil until they’re super soft. Then we add the pumpkin. Even though we use a whole can of pumpkin, it’s still a gentle flavor that doesn’t taste overwhelming Topped with salty soy pumpkin seeds. ← you definitely want to do this! Healthy hummus that is loaded with healthy pumpkin is extra awesome. That gorgeous color screams autumn. It makes the perfect addition to your fall parties, Thanksgiving, or even Halloween.
Once the chickpeas are almost mushy, drain the water and pop them into your food processor with a can of pumpkin puree, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Then add enough cold water so the hummus blends well. To make the salty soy pumpkin seeds, simply boil pumpkin seeds in soy sauce until the pan is dry. Then let them cool a little before you sprinkle them on top of your hummus. That’s it. Your pumpkin hummus is ready to eat! This is the canned pumpkin that we buy. It is available in most grocery stores in the baking section.
Tip for buying canned pumpkin
Make sure that the only ingredient is puréed pumpkin. If you accidentally use pumpkin pie filling (pumpkin mixed with pie spices) then your hummus will taste like pumpkin pie hummus. If canned pumpkin isn’t available to you, you can roast and mash pumpkin or sweet potato and use that instead. You’ll want about 1 ¾ cups of mashed pumpkin. Also, if you cook your own pumpkin it will likely have more water in it so you’ll want to cut down on the amount used in the recipe.
Try making homemade pita chips, as we do in our pesto hummus recipe. Simply cut, oil, and season pita bread then bake it until it’s crispy. Raw veggie sticks make great dippers – think celery, carrots, broccoli, or peas. Or try some roasted veggies like potatoes or beets. Bagel chips, tortilla chips, crackers, or any crunchy things you love are good dipping. Or move past dipping and spread this pumpkin hummus on a sandwich or dollop it on a salad!
