Pumpkin and a little olive oil replace the tahini in this seasonal hummus recipe! This is great with pita triangles or fresh veggies for dipping.

2 cloves garlic, raw
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 tsp cumin
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup olive oil PLUS extra for drizzling
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted

1. Throw all of your ingredients except the pumpkin seeds into your blender and process until smooth.

2. Transfer to a glass bowl with a lid, and chill until you're ready to serve. Drizzle with the extra olive oil and top with the pumpkin seeds just before serving.
