Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Non-Stick Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz can of organic pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic presser
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 15 oz can of chickpeas, rinsed and reserving a little of the chickpea water, or aquafaba If you forget to reserve it, that's okay, just use water
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp table salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (it's important that it is nonstick). Once hot, add the olive oil and allow it to heat up before adding in the pumpkin puree. Be careful because if the oil is too hot the puree can spit a little. Saute the pumpkin for four minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Add in the garlic, paprika, and coriander and continue to stir for another minute before taking the pan off of the heat and allowing it to cool.
  • While the pumpkin is cooling, rinse the chickpeas and add them to the food processor. Add in the tahini, lemon juice, and salt. Once the pumpkin puree has cooled, add it to the food processor.
  • Process until a smooth hummus forms. You may need to add a little liquid if it is too thick. You can use 1 tbsp of reserved chickpea water, or just regular water.
  • Spread into a serving bowl and drizzle with more olive oil, and the toppings of your choice. I like to sprinkle with a little paprika and parsley for color. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
