  1. Pulse all of the ingredients for the dukkah in the food processor until the consistency resembles coarse sand. Pour into a bowl and wipe out the bowl of the food processor.
  2. Add the roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, spices, salt and pepper to the food processor. Purée for 20 seconds then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Turn on food processor back on and slowly add in the olive oil and water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and taste for seasoning along the way.
  4. Top the hummus with a generous sprinkle of dukkah and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with homemade pita chips topped with dukkah (or store bought pita chips) and/or fresh vegetables.
