I tinkered a bit with what I found in other recipes and this is the result. I think I like my results. I stirred in a small handful of tamari-flavored pumpkin seeds just before serving (couldn't find plain ones) and sprinkled a bit of paprika on top to make it look nice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or butternut squash for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using pie pumpkins, as they are too watery.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you to create a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the pumpkin and chickpeas by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Season to taste: Hummus is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, or other spices to taste.
