Hello lovelies, finally I'm back with a new recipe: Pumpkin hummus with roasted veggies! Pumpkin?! - yes you heard correctly, even though I'm super sad this glorious summer is coming to an end, I'm also really happy about the coming fall season. You can expect lots and lots of pumpkin recipes and the first one is this delicious pumpkin hummus. It's very mild and this way perfect for the kids. Combined with the hearty oven roasted veggies it's a great filling for wraps – like my gluten-free cottage cheese wrap – goes well with a salad or just as a dip.

If you like the hummus even more spicy or flavorful, you can also add 1-2 garlic cloves. And it also will have a more intensiv pumpkin flavor if you roast the pumpkin in the oven instead of cooking/steaming it. You can do that as you do with the veggies, cut in pieces, drizzle with olive oil, season with herbs and spices and roast until soft and browned.

I already have so many recipe ideas for pumpkin, but also fall in general. There will be a new recipe for a very delicious plum cake with streusel on the blog this week - so stay tuned! Or do you have any specific wishes for autumn recipes? Please don't hesitate and send them to me, I always love to interact with you and to get your feedback!

And you can find some of my fall recipes from last year here.

If you love this pumpkin hummus, I have more autumn favorites for you: for your next dip spread I adore my sweet potato hummus with beetroot walnut dip, as a colorful side my autumnal oven veggies with vegan feta go beautifully alongside, and if you're in the mood for something warming and spiced, you have to try my pumpkin curry with chickpeas and mie noodles. I'd be so happy to hear how you like the hummus.

Yours, Verena

TIPS

Verena's notes

Tip from my kitchen: For a deeper flavor I roast the pumpkin in the oven instead of just cooking it. If you don't have tahini on hand, simply use a spoonful of cashew or almond butter. Adjust the creaminess to taste with a little chickpea water or vegan cream. Stored airtight, the hummus keeps for 3–4 days in the fridge and freezes well in portions.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

  • Hokkaido works best because it doesn't need peeling, or the slightly milder butternut squash. Cook, steam or roast the pumpkin first – roasting gives the hummus the deepest, slightly nutty flavor. Frozen pumpkin works too; just let it thaw beforehand.

  • Stored airtight, it keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days; covered with a thin layer of olive oil it stays fresh a little longer. You can also freeze it in portions and use it up within about 3 months – ideally thawing it overnight in the fridge.

  • The key is blending it thoroughly. Gradually add a little chickpea water (aquafaba) or vegan cream until you reach the consistency you like. The tahini makes the hummus lovely and velvety on top of that.

  • Yes. Instead of tahini use a spoonful of cashew or almond butter, or simply a little more olive oil. The flavor turns milder and nuttier while the texture stays nicely creamy.

  • It's delicious as a dip, as a filling for wraps, alongside a salad or simply spread on bread. Because it's so mild it's popular with kids too, and it makes a lovely light lunch or dinner.
