This roasted pumpkin and garlic hummus is a nice twist on the authentic recipe, a little sweeter and creamier than with chickpeas.

Preparation

  • Heat the oven to 220°C and line a tray with baking paper. 
  • Cut pumpkin into chunks and mix with olive oil. Bake pumpkin and garlic for about 30 minutes – until soft and turning a little brown on the edges. 
  • Transfer pumpkin to a blender, add peeled garlic, tahini, cumin, chili, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. 
  • If the hummus is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water to thin it out.
  • Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or chilli oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro.
