Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Spread the pumpkin cubes evenly on the baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the pumpkin with cooking spray oil.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the pumpkin for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and the pumpkin is tender. Turn the pumpkin pieces halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- Remove the roasted pumpkin from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted pumpkin, chickpeas, minced garlic, ground cumin, and lemon juice.
- While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to ensure everything is well combined.
- If the hummus is too thick, you can add a small amount of water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Taste the hummus and season with salt and additional lemon juice or cumin if needed.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
- Optionally, drizzle a little extra olive oil on top and sprinkle with a pinch of cumin or chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or spread on sandwiches.
Tips:
- For a smoother hummus, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and cumin to your taste preference.
- If the hummus is too thick, add a bit of water or more olive oil until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Roasting the pumpkin beforehand caramelizes its sugars and intensifies its flavor. Make sure to roast until the pumpkin is tender and slightly browned.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of cumin or paprika on top for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
- Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
