1 15.5 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) 1 cup pumpkin puree cooked fresh or canned 100% pure pumpkin 3 tablespoons tahini 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon cumin ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup olive oil
Rinse chickpeas and remove sheath that covers the chickpea. This is not a necessary step but will improve creaminess.
Add chickpeas to a food processor (or high-speed) blender and blend for about 10 seconds to chop the chickpeas fine.
Then add the spices, tahini, lemon juice, freshly minced garlic, and pumpkin. Blend until smooth and combined.
While the processor is blending, pour the olive oil through the shoot and continue blending until a smooth and creamy texture is achieved.
Serve with you favorite veggies or chips and Enjoy!
