Pumpkin Hummus Dip Recipe

Let’s be real here, holiday foods can be a bit (a lot) on the heavy side and it’s nice to have a healthy appetizer option that’s not going to weigh you down. This pumpkin hummus is smooth and creamy without feeling heavy.

The key to making the best pumpkin hummus, in addition to high-quality ingredients, is planning ahead. While you can absolutely serve this hummus right away, I recommend making it a day in advance; this allows extra time for the flavors to fully meld and develop.

This recipe does contain cayenne pepper for heat but it’s not an essential ingredient. The cayenne can easily be omitted if it doesn’t suit your taste.

Pumpkin Hummus Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) pureed pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

How to Make Pumpkin Hummus

STEP ONE: In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, pumpkin, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth.

STEP TWO: Transfer to a bowl then stir in the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

STEP THREE: Adjust seasoning to taste, adding the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, if desired. You control the heat! Serve cold or at room temperature.
