Author of this recipe
This modern take on a traditional hummus adds sweetness and colour that only pumpkin can provide. Once you try this easy recipe, you'll never want to buy pre-made hummus again.
Pumpkin hummus can be used as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. It is also great for children's lunchboxes as a dip with battoned celery, cucumber, capsicum, or carrot and will keep up to 1 month in the refrigerator if the hungry mouths in your household allow it.
Preparation
Place all ingredients in a food processor.
Blend until desired consistency is achieved.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add a little water or olive oil if a thinner consistency is preferred.
