This easy pumpkin hummus whips up in 5 minutes in your food processor! Adding pumpkin puree to homemade hummus adds a vegetable, a little sweet flavor, and a gorgeous orange color to the popular dip. Curry powder, turmeric, and a little cayenne add deep savory and peppery flavor that complements the sweetness of the pumpkin. Serve this pumpkin hummus as a dip with pita bread, crackers, or crudité, spread on toast for an easy breakfast, or use any other way you enjoy hummus!
Oh hello there, fall baker. Did you use one cup of pumpkin puree from the can and now have about ¾ of a cup left to use? (Hi, it’s me. Leftover puree from making Pumpkin Tiramisu last week!).
Well then, let me humbly suggest that you whip up a batch of pumpkin hummus to use it up. A delicious dip made savory with the addition of curry and other spices, and a wonderful break from the usual sweet fare in which cooking with pumpkin usually results.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Canned Chickpeas – white beans, cooked red lentils, or other light colored legumes will work (keep in mind they may affect the texture of the hummus) – plus the chickpea liquid (aquafaba).
