makes about 1 1/2 cups
1 clove garlic
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1. Add the garlic clove to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until minced.
2. Add the chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice to the food processor. Process until coarsely pureed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add in the pumpkin puree, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and salt and process until smooth.
3. Season with additional salt if necessary. Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and sprinkle with roasted shelled pumpkin seeds before serving, if desired. Serve alongside pita bread, pita chips, or fresh veggies.
