Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 0.75 cup canned pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 0.25 cup tahini well-stirred
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1 large lemon
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.25 cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 0.25 cup water or aquafaba, as needed
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, pumpkin puree, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and olive oil.
  2. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. With the processor running, slowly add water (or aquafaba) 1 tablespoon at a time until desired creamy consistency is reached.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more salt, lemon juice, or spices if desired.
  4. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with extra smoked paprika or chopped parsley for garnish.
  5. Serve immediately with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

For a roasted flavor, you can roast fresh pumpkin cubes at 400°F for 20 minutes before blending. This hummus also freezes well for up to 2 months—thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
