Is Pumpkin Hummus Nutritious?

I am not an expert on nutrition but I like to read up on food facts to make sure I am providing good nutrition to my family.  Hummus has two healthy fats, olive oil and the oil for the sesame seeds in the Tahini.

Hummus is a good source of plant-based fiber and protein. It is low in carbohydrates and has a low glycemic index while being gluten, nut, and dairy-free. The pumpkin in the hummus is also a good source of fiber, along with potassium and vitamin C.

Eating hummus originated in ancient Egypt, and has been a staple of the diets of the Middle East and Greece for centuries. For a type of food to be around that long, you know it has been successful for families. 

What to eat with Pumpkin Hummus:

Most of us eat our regular hummus with veggies which is a classic hummus recipe we all know. But that combination just seems a little off with savory pumpkin hummus.   I love to make this savory pumpkin hummus during pumpkin season for our fall parties with friends. 

You can eat this easy pumpkin hummus recipe with any small bread, crackers, crispy pita chips,  pita bread, or tortilla chips. 

Customizing Creamy Hummus:

• Add a sprinkle of extra chili flakes with the chili powder for more heat.

• A drizzle of olive oil just before serving adds a rich, finishing touch. 
• Substitute raw garlic cloves for roasted garlic, 
• Top with some fresh parsley and black pepper.

Ingredients for Delicious Savory Pumpkin Hummus:

• 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed. (also called Garbanzo beans)
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt or kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
• 2 tablespoons of tahini (can use less for a milder flavor)
• 1 cup of canned 100% pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
• 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

How to Make Creamy Pumpkin Hummus Recipe:

• Have all your ingredients out and ready to go.
• Open the can of pumpkin puree (never pumpkin pie mix)
• Open the can of chickpeas (also called Garbanzo Beans)
• This recipe calls for a food processor, and I used a mini food processor in my kitchen but works perfectly in a larger food processor. 
• Do not dump it all in the food processor at once. You can but it takes longer to get that creamy texture.
• Start by adding into the bowl of a food processor the canned chickpeas, garlic cloves, and lemon juice, and get the chickpeas chopped up a bit.
• Once the chickpeas are no longer whole add in the remaining chickpeas,  canned pumpkin puree, salt, chili powder, cumin, and tahini. Puree this mixture until smooth and creamy.
• Now is the time to add the olive oil.  Drizzle in the olive oil a little at a time while the food processor is working.
• Make your hummus as smooth or as chunky as you like it, enjoy.
