Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Hummus Ingredients
  • 2 cloves roasted garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed (15 oz can)
  • 0.67 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 0.5 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely minced, more to taste
  • salt to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. To prepare roasted garlic, peel the garlic cloves and simmer them in a small saucepan with a bit of olive oil for 15-20 minutes over low to medium heat until tender and fragrant. This also creates a delicious garlic-infused olive oil.
  2. Combine all ingredients, except the fresh rosemary, in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more olive oil or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Stir in the finely minced fresh rosemary. (Note: It's best to stir the rosemary in at the end, as blending tough herbs can sometimes be difficult for blenders.)
  4. Serve the roasted pumpkin hummus chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with warm naan bread, apple slices, crackers, carrot sticks, wheat toast, roasted vegetables, or pita bread.

Notes

This roasted pumpkin hummus is a delightful and healthy addition to any autumn spread or as a wholesome snack throughout the year. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, rosemary, and salt to suit your personal taste.
