I was talking to a friend about how much I love pumpkin in savoury dishes, like pumpkin curry, when she pointed out that I haven’t shared a single savoury pumpkin recipe on here! Well, I had to rectify that immediately with this delicious Pumpkin Hummus.

The credit for this pumpkin hummus should actually go to Ella – the lover of all things pumpkin spice. I was asking what she wanted to dip her veggies in for school and she insisted on pumpkin dip!

A sweet dip for veggies sounded gross, so I thought maybe we could make a savoury pumpkin dip using roasting spices instead of pumpkin spice. You could definitely add a dash of cinnamon or allspice to this dip, but I just stuck with traditional hummus spices this time around.

This would make a great healthy dip to offer guests, or have as an alternative to a more indulgent dip or appetizer at a party.

How to Make Pumpkin Hummus

First, gather your Pumpkin Hummus Ingredients:

• 1 ½ tsp minced garlic
• 1 can chickpeas (15 oz)
• 1 ½ C pumpkin puree
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

Note: you can boil or soak your own dried chickpeas for this recipe, but I made it with canned chickpeas since I was making her lunches right then.

This pumpkin hummus comes together in just a couple minutes and is a delicious dip for any pumpkin fan!
