This rich and creamy pumpkin hummus recipe is the perfect healthy and savory side dish to offset all the sweets this holiday season.
This recipe is featured in my 8 Plant-Based Hummus Recipes roundup!
I'm pretty sure my skin is going to turn orange any day now. 🙂
My Homemade Pumpkin Puree is almost too easy to make, so pumpkin puree is weaseling its way into everything. I can’t complain though! When it comes to the holidays, pumpkin seems to make anything a little more festive (I even make my own pumpkin pancake recipe!).
Are you guys sick of hummus yet?
I'm fully aware that I share a hummus recipe almost every month, but I just can get enough of it! It's the perfect condiment or spread for so many meals and it's extremely versatile.
So far on this blog I've shared some of my favorite recipes, including:

Hummus: The Perfect Party Dish
Thankfully, most other people I know love hummus as well, so I'm often serving it to others and bringing it to a party or get-together. Especially when the winter months roll around and the desserts and pies start making an appearance, it's nice to have a healthy, savory dish to share with others to balance out all that delicious sugar.
So if you're in need of a savory dish to bring to a party this holiday season, or if you just want a healthy and savory spread to have on hand in your fridge, this pumpkin hummus recipe is just the thing you need.
Full of protein from the chickpeas, creaminess from the pumpkin puree, and healthy fats from tahini, this pumpkin hummus is a creamy and flavorful way to spice up simple meals, plain vegetables, or a crusty piece of bread.
And with that beautiful rich, orange color, it will be a show stopper at your next party!
