If you liked my Easy Pumpkin Risotto Recipe then you will probably like this one too.
Both recipes feature that great taste of pumpkin.

The pumpkin in this hummus really makes it such a great tasting treat.

What I mean is that when the pumpkin is added to the taste of the hummus, we really get a taste that we would not expect in a hummus. However, we still get that great hummus texture that makes for great dipping etc.

Certainly, you would probably agree that hummus is a pretty healthy thing to eat.

With the usual chickpeas that are added to hummus, we will be using pumpkin. Pumpkin is a good source of potassium and Vitamin A.

This hummus recipe is also a vegan friendly one.

There are no animal related products added to this recipe. Also, thanks to the chickpeas in this recipe, this recipe gives us a bit of protein too.

To make this pumpkin hummus recipe you will need tahini.

You can find my recipe for homemade tahini here or you can buy your own tahini online here.

Tahini is made from soaked and crushed sesame seeds.
The sesame seeds are basically made into a paste. That paste is what holds together the hummus and provides for that texture we like for dipping.

Tips for making hummus

I already mentioned that we will make this hummus taste even better by adding pumpkin to it.

When the pumpkin is added to the taste of the hummus, we really get a taste that we would not expect in a hummus.

Here are some more helpful tips for making a great hummus.

  1. I like to use my Vitamix blender to make hummus. However, a food processor should do the trick if that is what you prefer to use.
  2. Allow the flavors to blend together for a few hours in the refrigerator before serving. Refrigerating is also a good idea to do before adding any extra seasonings for taste.
  3. Use a 15 ounce canned pumpkin puree for this recipe rather than fresh as it will be easier to work with.
  4. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the hummus prior to serving to give your hummus some extra moisture.

There is a bit of preparation that is needed for the beans.

Using canned Garbanzo (chickpeas) beans is an easy way to go for making hummus. Before adding them to the recipe be sure to drain then rinse the beans first. Some folks like to save the drained liquid for later use.

Topping your hummus before serving is a great way to personalize the look and the taste of it.
A lot of people like to drizzle a bit of olive oil on top of their hummus for both taste and moisture. I like to add some minced garlic or roasted peppers (chopped) on top as well.

Once you have all of the ingredients assembled, this is a relatively easy recipe to make. I should mention that to get a smooth hummus you may need to process or blend the ingredients for four to six minutes.
