This Pumpkin Hummus is made with a little bit of garlic, cumin, paprika, and of course, pumpkin. It goes wonderfully with our Homemade Pita Chips and tastes delicious!
I’m a little bit of a hummus noob. I have bought it a couple times and wasn’t too impressed. Then I made it for the first time with this Roasted Garlic Parmesan Hummus and totally loved it! So did Addi, so that was exciting. THEN, I made this Pumpkin Hummus and now I’m a hummus diehard and I’m never looking back. At least when it comes to this hummus.
I make this Pumpkin Hummus in my Blendtec, so it’s creamy and delicious, but I’m sure other blenders or food processors would work well, too. I feel like these photos don’t even show off how creamy it is. It looks a little lumpy, but don’t be fooled. It’s smoother than a baby’s bottom.
We eat it with our homemade pita chips and it’s hard to control ourselves when we pair the two. You can also enjoy it with tortilla chips or veggies. Either way, it’s a delicious recipe when you’re in the snacky mood and it makes life cozy with the pumpkin in it!

The pumpkin hummus looks delicious!
Thank you! It is definitely a keeper recipe! 🙂
made this today- SO good!
Wow, I made this yesterday and it was fantastic! I make my own hummus all the time but never thought of using pumpkin. The only thing I changed is I omitted the added oil (because I’m trying to cut down and tahini has a lot of oil already) and I added about 1/2 C of water since I’m used to thinner hummus but most importantly, the flavors were amazing just as written! Thank you, this is now my go to hummus and fantastic with veggies!
Hi there, can you tell me what size of can of pumpkin you used?
Thanks so much!
I made this and it was delicious! I used 3 cloves of garlic instead of 2, and added a couple of dashes of smoked paprika as well as the regular paprika. Otherwise I followed the recipe which was quick and easy. Will definitely make again!
So yummy!! Even hubby who doesn’t like pumpkin, enjoyed this! Perfect as a sandwich topping as well ????
