Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus

Your favorite appetizer just got a Fall makeover: Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus ~ golden, creamy, savory, and best of all, easy to make. Serve it with Pita Bread for a flavorful appetizer or snack.

It was 8 years ago when I discovered that chickpeas could be made into a delicious dip wherein you can go crazy overboard and dip whatever your heart desires into: pita bread, crackers, and veggies. It was also around that time when I first made this Classic Hummus at home. I wasn’t a fan of my first hummus but I ate it with blue corn chips and life went on.

After 8 dozen tubs of hummus,(which I think I’ve eaten to date) I already found a hummus recipe I love and like. But for some odd reason, I haven’t shared it yet here on the blog yet …..except today when it’s gotten a fall makeover.

Guys, meet my Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus. It’s still a savory hummus, garlicky (because of the roasted garlic) and with a bit of a spicy kick (because of the paprika). The addition of pumpkin puree made it beautifully golden and lent a sweeter note, adding another layer of flavor that makes it more addictive!

peanutbutter♥ liked it but I could tell he  wasn’t a fan but Ykaie super loved it. As in, she almost ate the whole batch. I made this over the weekend and we all had this for lunch as an appetizer before diving into my yummy Butter Chicken Meatballs (which recipe I will be sharing tomorrow, promise!). Then Ykaie had this again yesterday for lunch and for merienda……. and surprisingly for breakfast today. So, ubos na…. and I think she wants me to make another batch. LELz.

I’m okay naman with her eating Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus because it’s actually healthy.

So guys, if you’re looking for a delicious appetizer-slash-snack, you can make this. Super easy and no cooking involved. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also use a blender. And if you don’t have pumpkin puree, you can just omit it from the recipe and make a Roasted Garlic Hummus, instead.

Happy Monday! How are you doing at the start of the week, so far?
