Can I make pumpkin hummus without tahini ?

Yes! If you're out of tahini or avoiding sesame, you can substitute with Greek yogurt, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter. Just keep in mind the flavor will change slightly, but you’ll still get a creamy, delicious result.

How do I serve pumpkin hummus for a party ?

Serve it in a shallow bowl with a swirl of olive oil, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pepitas. Surround it with sliced apples, pita chips, and colorful veggies. Or, try presenting it inside a hollowed mini pumpkin for a fun fall touch.

Is pumpkin hummus healthy ?

Absolutely. It’s packed with plant-based protein from chickpeas, fiber, and vitamin A from pumpkin. Plus, it contains healthy fats from tahini and olive oil, making it a nourishing and satisfying dip.

How long does homemade pumpkin hummus last in the fridge ?

Homemade pumpkin hummus stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months.
