Creamy Pumpkin Hummus

For something seasonal, snackable, and a little unexpected, try this creamy pumpkin hummus. It’s a fall-inspired twist on classic hummus that’s perfect for parties, appetizer boards, or a quick snack with veggies and crackers.

The pumpkin adds a subtle sweetness and a silky texture that pairs beautifully with the warm spices and tahini. It’s easy to make, requires zero cooking, and has just the right balance of savory and earthy. Once you try it, you’ll want to keep it on repeat all season long.

Helpful Tips

• Peel the chickpeas: This step is optional, but it makes the hummus extra smooth. Microwave the drained chickpeas in water for 30 seconds, then rub them gently between your hands to slip off the skins.
• Adjust the texture: If your hummus is too thick, add warm water a teaspoon at a time while blending until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Use good tahini: The flavor of tahini really comes through here, so use a high-quality brand that’s smooth and not overly bitter.
