It’s that time of the year when pumpkin-spiced things are everywhere, and I wanted to start incorporating that Fall flavor into some of my meals, like this Pumpkin Hummus.

Instructions
Add all ingredients in a blender or food processor, except for the pumpkin seeds if using. Puree until very smooth and creamy.
Adjust the consistency with more aquafaba or water if needed (1 tbsp at a time). Additionally, taste the hummus in case you need to adjust the flavor based on your preferences. Add more garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, etc.
Transfer to a serving bowl, and top with toasted pumpkin seeds and crushed red pepper if desired.
Serve with your favorite healthy snacks, and enjoy!
Notes
The tahini can be replaced for water or aquafaba if you don’t have it at home or you don’t want to use it. You can also skip it entirely.
Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
