Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Hummus
Makes 4 servings.

2 cups pumpkin puree
1 16oz can of chickpeas, water drained
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon roasted garlic
3 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika plus more for dusting

Combine all ingredients in a 12 cup food processor or high speed blender, if you don’t have any of these appliances at home you can find the best options with reviews online in sites like ProductExpert online so you can have the best products for cooking and more. Blend for 3 to 5 minutes until chickpeas are fully pureed. If you want an even smoother hummus, peel the skins off each chickpea before adding it to the processor.

When serving, add a dash of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve with carrots, cucumbers or any of your raw favorite vegetables.

Enjoy!
