Savory Pumpkin Hummus

I tinkered a bit with what I found in other recipes and this is the result. I think I like my results. I stirred in a small handful of tamari-flavored pumpkin seeds just before serving (couldn’t find plain ones) and sprinkled a bit of paprika on top to make it look nice.

Original recipe makes 16 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
3 cloves garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seed kernels, or more to taste
1 pinch paprika
