Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 juice from a lemon
  • 2 sliced garlic cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon Cumin
  • teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups kabocha squash roasted
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  • Roast the kabocha squash. I used a half of a squash cut in half and brushed with olive oil on a sheet pan in the oven at 400°F for 45-50 minutes. Then remove kabocha squash flesh with a spoon and set aside.
  • Using a food processor or high powered blender add the tahini and olive oil. Process on high for about 1 minute. Next while continuing to process slowly pour in the lemon juice. Remove lid and scrape down sides.
  • Add the cumin, garlic and salt and puree for 1 minute.
  • Add the kabocha and puree until smooth and creamy. If too thick continue to puree and drizzle in a little bit of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika or sumac. (Refer to the detailed video instructions below if further clarification is needed)

Notes

Top Tip: Do not serve cold.  Allow hummus to get to room temperature before consuming.
