Perfect for cooler months. Plus, the pumpkin and chickpeas blend into a smooth, savory pumpkin hummus that's full of character. And listen, it is wonderfully light. This is a dip that feels special enough for a party but is pretty simple to whip up for a snack. In Middle Eastern cuisine, hummus is a base for lots of flavors, and this pumpkin hummus recipe runs with that, offering a taste of autumn in every bite.

When you put out pumpkin hummus at parties, guests can't resist. Really, they keep going back, especially when it's on toasted bread or beside some crispy savory meatballs. What makes this dip different? You can customize it easily—add cumin or smoked paprika for a spicy kick, or roast some garlic for extra depth. For real, the base stays moist and tangy, while the pumpkin keeps it light and fresh.

This pumpkin hummus recipe is super popular as a fall appetizer, fitting right into vegan or vegetarian spreads. Even people who aren't usually into hummus find it intriguing. The subtle sweet note from the pumpkin balances the rich chickpea flavor beautifully. Seriously. Whether it's for Thanksgiving or just trying something new, this savory pumpkin hummus brings seasonal flair and tons of great taste to any table. Can't go wrong.

How to prepare Pumpkin Hummus

To prepare pumpkin hummus, first remove the seeds and inner fibers from the pumpkin 1. Cut it into slices 1-2 cm (about 1/2 inch) thick 2 and then cut the slices in half 3. It's important that they are the same size for even cooking.

Transfer everything to a baking sheet and season with rosemary 4, oil 5, and paprika 6.

Continue with salt 7 and massage the pumpkin pieces 8 to coat them evenly. Bake in a static oven at 200°C (about 400°F) for 30 minutes. Check with a fork to see if the pumpkin has become soft 9.

Transfer the pumpkin to a blender and add the chickpeas 10, tahini 11, and lemon juice 12.

Season with a pinch of salt 13 and a generous drizzle of oil 14. Blend until you obtain a smooth, creamy, and buttery consistency 15. If it turns out too thick, you can add a little water or an ice cube and blend for a few seconds.

Transfer everything to a bowl and garnish with paprika 16, pepper, rosemary, chickpeas 17, and a drizzle of oil. Your pumpkin hummus is ready to be enjoyed 18, perhaps accompanied by toasted bread.

Storage

Pumpkin hummus can be stored in the refrigerator, in a sealed container, for 2-3 days, taking care to cover the surface with a layer of oil to prevent it from drying out.

Advice

For a more aromatic touch, you can add spices like curry or cumin. For a bolder flavor, you can incorporate roasted garlic, and if you love spicy food, some fresh chili pepper. The type of pumpkin can also be varied: try using butternut squash or Mantua pumpkin for different flavor nuances.
