Pumpkin Hummus

 

1 1/2 pound fresh pumpkin

8 ozs. hummus

olive oil cooking spray

2 tsps. powdered ginger

2 tsps. sweet paprika

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup fresh herbs, chopped (oregano, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, basil, etc)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice pumpkin.

Precook the pumpkin slices for 10 minutes in the microwave with a dash of

water.

Give your baking sheet a spritz of oil then lay the pumpkin slices on the

baking tray and give them a spritz of oil. (Note that you can drizzle on

regular olive oil if you prefer but a cooking spray allows you to minimize

additional fat - and the tahini in the hummus is already providing fat in this

dish)

Sprinkle with paprika, ginger, mixed green herbs, and salt. Bake until nice and

soft. Will take about 40 minutes.

Let the pumpkin cool and then mash. Mix in the hummus and add more herbs and

spices if you like.

Serve as a dip with fresh crispy vegetables, pita chips or warm pita bread.

Serves 6.
