    Roasted Pumpkin Hummus

    It’s that time of year again, Pumpkin season, and you’re either with it or against it. I love pumpkin, I really do, but I’ll admit that I wasn’t all that jazzed about “pumpkin spiced” things this year, as I’ve been in the past. For me this year is all about the roasted pumpkin. I love the flavor of roasted pumpkin, topped with nothing but a little bit of salt and pepper. It’s one of my favorite seasonal squashes and I feel like the flavor of actual pumpkin isn’t appreciated enough. So today we have a savory Roasted Pumpkin Hummus recipe for you all. I’ve incorporated lots of roasted garlic and tahini for that savory, nutty flavor. I also decided to load it up on top because I love the crunchy textures you get from the pepitas and hemp hearts. The pomegranate seeds may not be for everyone in this dish, but I love the sweet/tart and savory combination.

    Although there are some really nice canned pumpkin purees out there, I highly recommend roasting your own sugar pumpkin (it’s really quite easy!) and making this hummus. You’ll taste a world of difference between the two types of pumpkin used. You’ll get a more in-depth and caramelized flavor from the home roasted pumpkin. This would make a great party appetizer or just a tasty midday snack. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

      Good recipe, but it would have been REALLY considerate to specify approx what size pumpkin. They do come in very different sizes!
