This Roasted Pumpkin Hummus is a variation to the regular hummus that is made with white chickpeas and pumpkin. Roasted Pumpkin Hummus is made with roasted pumpkin along with chickpeas and lots of garlic. This Hummus tastes a tad spicy, creamier, and extremely delicious It’s vibrant, colorful, and full of flavors. The generous use of garlic and olive oil has an eclectic taste.
I love the middle-eastern party theme. Hummus is one of the most popular middle eastern dip served with pita bread, lavash, and also fresh veggies. It makes a great appetizer for any party. I usually try different types of Hummus as it is also a very healthy option for snacking. It’s rich in proteins and fibers.
