Fall appetizers are all about cozy flavors, simple prep, and food that brings people together. And this Creamy Pumpkin Hummus hits every single note — it’s festive, flavorful, and ridiculously easy to make.
It’s the kind of recipe that makes your snack table look like you spent hours in the kitchen, when in reality, it takes less than 10 minutes. The pumpkin adds subtle sweetness and a velvety texture, while the chickpeas and tahini keep it rich and hearty. A dash of garlic, lemon juice, and warm spices gives it that perfect balance of savory and cozy.
I first made this as a quick dip before a fall dinner party — and it was gone before dinner even started. The combination of creamy pumpkin, zesty lemon, and smoky paprika is addicting.
Serve it with warm pita, crunchy veggies, or spread it on toast for a next-level fall snack. It’s the easiest way to add a little pumpkin spice joy to your day — without baking anything.
This Creamy Pumpkin Hummus is a cozy, fall-inspired twist on the classic chickpea dip you love. It’s ultra-smooth, perfectly spiced with cinnamon and smoked paprika, and finished with a swirl of olive oil and roasted pepitas. It’s ready in 10 minutes, packed with plant-based protein, and guaranteed to impress at every gathering — from cozy dinners to Thanksgiving spreads.
Add chickpeas, pumpkin purée, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, paprika, and cinnamon to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add water as needed to reach desired texture.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed — add more lemon for brightness, salt for depth, or pumpkin for sweetness.
Spoon hummus into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a swirl. Drizzle with olive oil and top with roasted pepitas and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve with pita chips or veggies.💡 Tips
