Ingredients
- 1 chickpeas canned, undrained, 15-ounce can
- 1 pumpkin puree pure, canned 15-ounce
- 2 garlic minced, medium cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more for garnish, or Aleppo pepper
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- lemon juice of 1
- extra virgin olive oil
- roasted pumpkin seeds or toasted pepitas, for garnish (optional)
- Pita chips crackers, or crudité, for serving
Instructions
- Separate the chickpeas and their liquid. Set a strainer over a bowl and pour the canned chickpeas through the strainer, reserving both the liquid and chickpeas.
- Get ready to blend. To the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, add the chickpeas, pumpkin puree, garlic, tahini, and lemon juice. Season with the cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper and a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon each).
- Blend and thin. Close the lid and run the food processor to blend. The mixture will be thick at first. While the food processor is running, add in splash of the reserved chickpea liquid. Continue to blend, adding a little bit more of the liquid as needed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Season to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your linking. If you end up adding any more seasoning, you can pulse a few times to make sure the mixture is well blended.
- Assemble and serve. Transfer the pumpkin hummus to a bowl and spread with the back of a spoon. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and finish with pepitas or roasted pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper (if using). Serve with pita chips or crackers of your choice.
