Pumpkin hummus

a lovely fall dip perfect for anytime of the year!
hummus is a wonderful healthy dip with protein and delicious flavor. Some people but store bought hummus but after seeing how easy it is to make it yourself I have started buying chickpeas and making it myself!

this hummus is on the slightly mild side but you can sweeten it or spicy it up!

Main ingredients

Chickpeas. Chickpeas or also known as “garbanzo beans” are a staple in real hummus.
Tahini. Tahini is a sesame paste and can be substituted with sunflower seed butter.
Pumpkin purée. Without the pumpkin this hummus would be just your everyday hummus.
Lemon juice. Lemon juice is what gives hummus a lot of it’s flavor. Without sea salt and lemon hummus just wouldn’t be hummus!

Sea salt. Salt takes any butter out of the hummus and changes the lemon juice to a sweeter flavor.

Three easy steps to homemade hummus

Step 1. Put all the ingredients into a blender.
Step 2. Blend the ingredients until smooth. You may need to stir every now and then.
Step 3. Serve in a small bowl and garnish with pepitas and paprika.

Pumpkin
When I open a can of pumpkin I put the remaining pumpkin into a glass jar with a sealed lid for freshness. Homemade pumpkin purée should work just as well as store bought.
