Pumpkin Hummus

Jennifer Young
A smooth, creamy hummus with a hint of pumpkin. Perfect for fall!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup tahini {sesame paste}
  • Juice of 1-2 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 15- oz cans garbanzo beans {also called chickpeas} drained and rinsed
  • 2-3 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  • 1. Combine tahini and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Process for approx. 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl, then process for another minute, or until tahini becomes thicker and lighter in color.
  • 2. Add olive oil, garlic, pumpkin pie spice, cumin and salt and process for 30 seconds to a minute.
  • 3. Add pumpkin and half of the garbanzo beans and process for 1 minute. Add remaining garbanzo beans and process for an additional 2 minutes or until thick and smooth. If hummus is too thick, slowly add in water while food processor is running until it gets to the desired consistency.
  • 4. Once desired consistency is reached, add in cilantro and process for an additional 30-45 seconds.
  • Notes
  • The number of limes you use will depend on the amount of juice they have. You are looking for approximately 3-4 tablespoons of lime juice. Also, I love cilantro, so I added a ton. If you don't like it as much, feel free to use less.
