Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus

Okay, first of all, YUM ALERT! Secondly, I must admit that I stole this idea from several Pinterest recipes and modified it to my liking. I would give crefit but I used like four or five recipes and I have no idea which ones I looked at. I promise this version is my own and in future I will give credit to my inspirations. But I digress...

This hummus is so lovely. It is a beautiful take on basic hummus and even if it sounds strange to you you should totally make it anyway...I promise you will not be sorry.  I didn't photograph each step but I shall explain it all in detail. Here...just look at the finished loveliness...



I know, right?  ❤️

Ingredients:

1 can of drained, rinsed chickpeas
5-7 cloves of roasted garlic
2/3 cup of pure pumpkin
2 Tbls tahini (optional)
1Tbls olive oil (extra virgin is best)
1Tbls pure maple syrup
2 Tbls water
sea salt to taste
fresh rosemary (optional)

It sounds like a lot of garlic, I know, but roasted garlic is SOOO heavenly and rich...more is better!

Basically you will put all ingredients in a food processor or strong blender.  I like to put the garlic, tahini and water in first, give it a whirl, and then add rest of ingredients. Don't add fresh herbs yet, if using.

You will need to scrape down the sides a few times, and you should totally taste and add seasoning or water or whatever you think it needs. Trust yourself!  Everything will taste infinitely better once it sits for a while so be prepared to have your mind blown.

Add in fresh chopped herbs (if using) and mix in by hand. I sprinkled mine with some paprika because it's pretty and always works in dips.

I served mine with gluten free herb crackers and plain rice crackers. Basically all you need is a spoon. Divine!!!

Let's see that beautiful hummus again...
