- 1¾ cups (15oz can) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- sea salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons hot water
*Optional: Start by steaming the chickpeas for 5 minutes by using a pot with a basket steamer and about 1 inch of water at the bottom. Place the lid on the pot and allow the chickpeas to steam.
Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor.
Blend until creamy and smooth. Stop occasionally and scrape down the sides with a spatula. After one minute, while it is blending, slowly and carefully pour in the hot water and blend for at least another minute. *The longer you blend it, the creamier it will become.
Add additional salt as needed.
Dip carrot sticks, celery sticks, pita bread, or pretzel slims into this hummus for the most delicious, protein-filled appetizer.
This hummus should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge.
