 Hey everyone today. We're making pumpkin hummus with roasted garlic to bring out the best flavor ever I'm going to season this up with some rosemary and a few other things that we'll get into a little bit later I'm telling you this is delicious. It's a great thing to take to a Halloween party or just make it anytime during the fall It just it's wonderful. I'm rockin Robin, and I'm going to show you how to make it right after my chef joke You can't sing with a mouthful of chickpeas But you can hum a satoon So the first thing we want to do for our recipe is roast our garlic You don't have to do that, but I think roasting the garlic makes it so much better So we're going to cut off about a quarter to a half an inch of the top of a bulb To expose the cloves and then we're going to place this on a piece of foil And we're going to drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over the top Wrap the foil up over the clove and then place this in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for probably 45 to 60 minutes You end up with these beautifully caramelized golden cloves that are nice and soft to the touch Now remember you can always use raw garlic But if you do just use one clove and if you use roasted you can use up to four to start our recipe I'm using organic garbanzo beans which I got from Trader Joe's and you want to drain them before placing them Into the food processor next we're going to add some tahini, which is just some roasted sesame seed pureed Mine's been sitting in my pantry for a while, so it has separated and needs a good stir We'll toss in about a tablespoon of that and don't forget you can get the written recipe below the video in the description area And now we're going to add some pumpkin. I have some organic pumpkin here and it only contains pumpkin So don't get the one with a lot of spices Now we're going to take a knife and pop out those beautiful roasted garlic cloves. Look at these They're nice and soft and we're just going to drop those right in and you can use like I said up to four Maybe even five depending on their size Ground cumin is next which adds a nice slightly sweet warming flavor to our dish Next goes just a little bit of maple syrup to give it a little bit of sweetness A little cayenne pepper goes in next but this is totally optional if you don't want any heat Next is some salt to bring out those flavors Now use some good olive oil and give it a drizzle All right, I'm going to blend this up at this point and then we'll add a few more ingredients Now for a little lemon to brighten things up Now there's nothing like some fresh rosemary out of the garden So go ahead and grab yourself a couple of stems and peel off the petals and then give them a nice chop So they're nice and small You'll need to chop enough for about a half a teaspoon We'll toss that right into our hummus and blend this until it's completely smooth Now it's the time to take a taste and see if you need to make any adjustments with the flavors You might need to add a little more salt or ground cumin or lemon or whatever. I Went ahead and added just a little more salt Give it another mix and now I'll show you how to serve it up and we'll garnish it All right, it must be time for chef joke number two What did the hummus say to the pita bread when he got sick? I falafel Now back to the hummus we're going to serve this up into a nice dish And I like to garnish this with a little bit of smoked paprika And I'm just putting it on one half of the dish And I like to garnish this up with some crunch So I'm using some roasted and salted pumpkin seeds Make sure to check your ingredients before you buy them And as you can see here, this is just pumpkin seeds and salt You can serve these up on the side and I like to put some on top of the hummus as well And of course, then we're going to drizzle some high quality olive oil over the top And of course you can serve this wonderful hummus with crackers celery strips of carrots, whatever you like And of course this makes a wonderful and delicious and tasty appetizer Give this a try and let me know what you think in the comments If you're looking for something delicious to serve after that delicious hummus appetizer Well, you've got to try this recipe right here.
