Author: Kathy Hester | The Easy Vegan Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed or 1 ½ cups (300 g) cooked
  • ¾ cup (184 g) pumpkin puree (can substitute sweet potato or butternut squash puree)
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (10 g) nutritional yeast
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon cumin, to taste (I used ½ tsp)
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon coriander, to taste, optional (I used ¼ tsp)
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water, as needed
  • Sea salt, to taste (I used ¾ teaspoon)
  • Note: I also added 2 tablespoons of tahini to yield a super smooth and creamy hummus.

Instructions

  • Place the chickpeas, pumpkin, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, cumin, paprika, coriander, and cayenne in your food processor. Blend until the chickpeas are pureed (note: I blended until everything was super smooth and creamy). Add in water, one tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is too thick.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings; add sea salt to taste.
  • Serve with veggies, pita, sweet potato chips, etc.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.
