Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Drain and rinse canned chickpeas thoroughly for a smoother consistency. Measure out pumpkin puree and fresh lemon juice to get started.
  2. Combine in the Food Processor: Add the chickpeas, pumpkin puree, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and cinnamon into a food processor. Blend until creamy and well combined.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the hummus feels too thick, slowly add olive oil or a little water until you reach the desired creaminess.
  4. Season to Taste: Season with salt, pepper, and an extra touch of lemon or garlic if needed. Give it one last blend to mix thoroughly.
  5. Serve or Store: Transfer your pumpkin hummus to a bowl, drizzle some olive oil on top, and add any garnishes before serving. Refrigerate if not eating immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice to keep flavors bright and fresh.
  • Removing chickpea skins can make your hummus extra silky, though it’s optional.
  • Taste as you go to fine-tune the spice and acidity to your liking.
  • Let the hummus rest in the fridge for at least an hour to meld flavors perfectly.
  • Serve at room temperature to enhance the taste experience.
