This pumpkin hummus is perfect for fall and takes only 10 minutes to whip up! Many dishes with this seasonal squash are sweet, but this savory pumpkin recipe is a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 15-ounce can chickpeas (or 1 1/2 cups cooked)
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel the garlic clove. Place it in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped.
  2. Drain the chickpeas and reserve the liquid from the can (aquafaba). To the bowl of the food processor, add the chickpeas, pumpkin puree, salt, cumin, lemon juice, maple syrup and olive oil. (If desired, add a pinch of cayenne for some spice.) Blend thoroughly to combine. If the texture should be creamier, add a little aquafaba. To make the flavor pop more, add more salt or lemon juice. Stores refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Sweet variation: Omit the cumin and garlic. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, to taste.
