Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed or cook dried chickpeas from scratch and use 1½ cups
  • 1 lb pumpkin peeled and sliced (you can replace it with one cup of pumpkin puree)
  • 2 cloves black garlic peeled
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust as per taste
  • Pumpkin seeds for garnish
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • PrePreheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Spread the pumpkin on a baking sheet in a single layer. Season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Let the roasted pumpkin cool slightly.
  • In a food processor, combine the roasted pumpkin, black garlic, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Process for several minutes, scraping down the sides until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds for garnish. Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, roast the pumpkin until it’s well caramelized. This brings out its natural sweetness.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree instead of roasting a fresh pumpkin if you're short on time. However, roasting will provide a richer flavor.
  • For the creamiest hummus, blend the ingredients until completely smooth. If needed, add a bit of water or more olive oil to achieve your desired consistency.
  • For the best taste and texture, serve the hummus at room temperature. Take it out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.
