    Spicy Pumpkin Hummus is a perfect appetizer for your fall parties. I can proudly say that this is the best hummus I’ve ever made. We love the subtle pumpkin taste in our regular hummus. Plus it has got a super food that nobody can notice.

    So what’s this super food? You might have guessed it when you see the amazing yellow colour in the photos here. It is turmeric. I know I should consider its health benefits when using it in my recipes, but to tell you the truth I use it for its colour. I’m in love with that beautiful yellow colour and love to use it as a natural food colouring. I think it makes everything more attractive. Can you think of a better colour than this that fits the season fall?

    When making this perfect fall hummus recipe for the first time, I wasn’t 100% sure about the result. My parents were with us too and I was a bit nervous as mom is very good at making traditional Turkish hummus that is creamy and served with chili powdered hot olive oil drizzle.

    I’m always in search for new tastes and new combination of everyday ingredients. And I created the recipe for Pistachio Pesto Hummus for the exact same reason.

    The only spice in our traditional hummus recipe is cumin. In this one, I used turmeric and chili powder besides it. Although I call the recipe Spicy Pumpkin Hummus, neither the flavours of spices nor the pumpkin taste is very strong. This is the perfect side of this hummus.

    Thankfully, mom and dad gobbled it up and asked me to make it again for the next 2 days.

    This Spicy Pumpkin Hummus is a perfect vegan snack that you can enjoy with chips. I love it with carrot or cucumber sticks too.

      I made this today. My husband who doesn't like pumpkin thinks this hummus is amazing! I had frozen cooked chickpeas so I didnt have any chickpea water. I used the pumpkin water after I drained it. Perfect!

      This looks fantastic!!

      I have so much leftover Pumpkin Puree in the cupboards right now AND a potluck party to go to next weekend, and this looks like just the perfect recipe to help me out with both of those things. Love the addition of turmeric, so great to sneak in superfoods wherever we can! And can't beat the color it brings to dishes like these!

        Hi Lauren, hummus is definitely a perfect potluck party food. And making the pumpkin and turmeric twist will make it even more attractive for everyone. Hope you love it as much as we do.
