Instructions
Creating Butternut Squash Hummus Dip is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Roast the Squash: Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Cool the Squash: Allow the roasted squash to cool for a few minutes.
4. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Process: Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices as needed.
7. Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. You can garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs if desired.
