MAPLE-PUMPKING HUMMUS

Prep time:  5 mins Total time:  5 mins Serves: 2 cups 

Ingredients

1 tbs. sesame seeds

2 tbs. olive oil

1¾ cups chickpeas

1 cup pumpkin puree

2 tbs. Coombs Family Farms Grade A Dark Color, Robust Taste Maple Syrup

½ tsp. cinnamon

⅛ tsp. nutmeg

⅛ tsp. cumin

½ tsp. salt

1 tbs. water, if needed

Instructions

In a high-powered blender or food processor, blend the sesame seeds, olive oil, and chickpeas. (Note: Grind the seeds first in a spice grinder or coffee grinder for smoothest results.) 

Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth. 

Add the water if you want it a little thinner. 

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings. This isn’t an exact science, so you’ll want to play with the proportions to get a flavor you love. 

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve with crackers, tortilla chips, or vegetable strips. 

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
