Instructions

  • Roast the garlic. Here are two options for roasting your garlic.
    - The first option for roasting garlic is to preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C. Peel the garlic cloves and wrap them in aluminum foil. Then bake for about 30-40 minutes.
    - The second option is to peel the garlic and saute it in a small saucepan with avocado oil for about 20 minutes over low/medium heat.
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-quality blender and blitz the ingredients until smooth. If it’s not quite creamy enough, feel free to add another tablespoon of ice-cold water.
  • Serve with roasted pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of olive oil on top.

Notes

Is hummus better with or without tahini?
Tahini adds a beautiful tangy taste and enhances the creaminess of homemade hummus, so I always recommend using it.
Do I need to peel the chickpeas?
You don’t need to peel the skin off the chickpeas. However, your hummus will be even more silky if you want to go the extra mile.
Storage Tips
Here are my storage tips for this classic dip. 
  • Fridge: This roasted garlic pumpkin hummus can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    Pro Tip: Food has been shown to stay fresh longer when stored in an air-tight glass container (as opposed to plastic).
  • Freezer: Alternatively, freeze any leftover hummus in an air-tight (freezer-safe) container for up to two months.
