Savory Pumpkin Hummus Recipe FAQs
What to dip in pumpkin pie hummus?
This savory pumpkin hummus pairs perfectly with a Halloween veggie tray or classic hummus dippers like pita chips, sourdough, and crackers. On the other hand, sweet pumpkin spice hummus, which is essentially a pumpkin pie dip, goes with fruits like apple slices and snacks like ginger snaps and graham crackers!
How to make pumpkin pie hummus?
To turn this recipe into a dessert pumpkin pie hummus, keep chickpeas and pumpkin puree for the base. Then, swap olive oil, lime, tahini, garlic, and seasonings with aquafaba, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
Does this pumpkin pie hummus recipe need to have chickpeas?
Yes, chickpeas or garbanzo beans are what make this dip “hummus.” If you leave them out in this pumpkin hummus recipe, it’s essentially a roasted pumpkin dip!
What happens if I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?
Since this recipe isn’t for a pumpkin pie dessert hummus, stick with pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling is sweeter and includes extras that will change the flavor of the savory dip.
