Roasted Butternut Squash Hummus

This flavorful, butternut squash hummus is simple to make and packs a savory punch that goes great with chips, veggies or any meal that needs a little something extra.

Hummus is really good…alone it is good. HOWEVER, consider your average hummus upped with this savory Butternut Squash addition!

Now you can have your hummus AND your vegetable’s all in the same bite.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

• Butternut squash
  • It needs to be roasted prior to adding it to the hummus
  • check out the easy peasy way I roast mine here and your roasting of a butternut squash will never be the same

• Tahini
  • this is a staple in all hummi(?) it adds a rich nutty flavor

• Garlic
  • I usually use minced because it is more readily (quickly) available to me, but you could also use fresh garlic and just mince it yourself…aka crush it.

• Chickpeas
  • Good source of PROTEIN and FIBER and with those two power houses…you are bound to be more full longer.
  • Make sure you rinse them. If you don’t, nothing will happen except your chickpea might taste a bit filmy

• Olive oil
  • Most recipes call for more, however to cut down on fat I tend to use less which is why I adjusted this recipe to 2 tablespoons. I feel like that is plenty but if you like it more creamy then by all means! Add away!

• Fresh Parsley
  • I feel strongly that fresh herbs are a real game changer.

• Cinnamon
• Cumin
• Smoked Paprika
  • Regular will do fine but will not add near the same depth. I suggest you buy yourself some smoked paprika. It goes great on just about all things
