Ingredients

8 servings
  • 2 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon salt, (divided)
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • One 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, (rinsed and drained)
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon raw pumpkin seeds ((pepitas))
  • ⅛ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400℉.

  2. Toss the squash with the olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and the black pepper and spread it out on a baking sheet. Roast until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Remove from oven and cool.

  3. Add the cooled squash, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and ginger to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, gradually adding enough water so it reaches your desired consistency.

  4. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and cook until starting to turn golden, but not yet popping, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the paprika.

  5. To serve, spread the hummus out in a shallow bowl. Drizzle the pumpkin seeds and oil on top, and serve with pita bread, toasted pita chips, sliced baguette, crackers, or raw veggies for dipping.
