Steps

  1. Wash the pumpkin, peel it, and remove the seeds. Cut it into smaller pieces.

  2. Season the chopped pumpkin with olive oil and cumin, then place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Take a head of garlic and cut it in half with a sharp knife. Add both halves to the baking tray with the cut side facing up, then drizzle them with oil.

  3. Place the baking tray with the pumpkin and garlic in the oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes. The pumpkin is done when it slightly browns at the edges.

  4. While the ingredients are roasting, drain the chickpeas and rinse them quickly under running water.

  5. In a food processor, add the roasted pumpkin, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground pepper. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins, then blend all the ingredients until smooth. Add a little water and/or olive oil if needed.

  6. Taste the hummus. If necessary, add a bit more tahini, salt, and/or pepper.

  7. Transfer the prepared spread to a serving bowl and let it cool thoroughly before serving if desired. When serving, drizzle a little olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and/or toasted pumpkin seeds.
