From dipping to scooping, spreading to mixing in, hummus is one versatile food. This gluten-free and vegan savory pumpkin hummus is the perfect flavor for all you fall snacking, cooking, and tailgating!
I make and eat a lot of hummus, yet I slack at giving you hummus recipes! Have no fear, I have a good one for you today. This is my latest hummus recipe and I've been enjoying the huge batch I made the last 2 weeks. It's simple Fall perfection that satisfies the savory pumpkin craving. If I had the choice between a sweet pumpkin dish and a savory one, I think I would go savory! I just love the creamy, rich, undertoned taste of pumpkin when highlighted in a savory recipe.
I don't think people highlight or appreciate it's wonderful savory qualities enough. Maybe that's why I love it so much. The versatility from sweet to savory and everything in between. Just like hummus! Sweet, savory, whatever. I just love foods and ingredients that do that that flavor profile capability. It makes the possibilities endless and the ingredient or food timeless. So opening that can of pumpkin and using it to make this pumpkin pie snack bites as well as this hummus, all from one can, sounds pretty good to me.
This is also a really nifty time of year to start doling out the hummus recipes. Tons of gatherings, parties, and tailgating. 'Tis the season for good healthy snacking! I mean, have you ever been to some type of get together where there was no dip or hummus? I think not. People like to mingle while snacking. Snacking on something crunchy. Mingling, snacking, and dipping or spreading! Lucky for you, those chips, pretzels, or raw veggies can do some of their own mingling in some seasonal pumpkin hummus! And, get this, it's healthy, allergy-free, and fat-free! So dip, spread, and scoop away my snacking friends!

I've never heard of hummus that wasn't made with chickpeas, but this sounds heavenly.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
But this is chickpeas π

What a nice take on the traditional hummus, making it even more healthier! Thanks for sharing such a nice recipe.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thanks!
CJ Huang
I'm with you - definitely like those foods that are so versatile and work well, whether sweet or savory. I do tend towards savory though, and pumpkin's such a perfect (and healthy) food this time of year. π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Woohoo savory pumpkin lovers!!! That's why you can never get bored with pumpkin!
Sarah R.
I love making my own hummus because I'm not a fan of Tahini- but I rarely venture away from a classic hummus recipe. I love the sound of yours and will definitely have to try it- what was your favorite way to eat it? I actually love to spread hummus on a sandwich!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
What!! I could eat (and do) eat tahini by the spoonful, I just never add it to my own hummus π
That's the only way I use hummus! For my lunch sammies!
Sam // DIY Just Cuz

Sarah Nenni Daher
Okay, so I've already commented on this delicious post once but I am happy to be back and say that I've chosen this savory pumpkin hummus as my feature for the Thank Goodness It's Thursday link party.
I made this (but reduced the sage and thyme to 1/4 tsp because I was giving it to my 3 year old and you know what? WINNER! It definitely made people look twice - my neighbor loves it now, too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You just made my day! I LOVE hearing that!!! How fantastic and I am so glad it was such a crowd pleaser!!!! (With big AND small people, haha!) Keep on pumpkining!!!! xoxo

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha for sure!
Grace
I'm so intrigued! I make hummus weekly, and I like to mix up the flavours each time, but I never would have thought to add pumpkin to it. Definitely will be trying it out! This would also be great for those times I realize I have no tahini, haha.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I always love making a new floavor every time too and pumpkin was essential to the start of the season!
chellie
Love hummus, love pumpkin--why didn't I think of this myself?! LOL.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Hahaha, well now you can still make it!

Pumpkin: definitely savory!!!
Party dip: hummus of course! Or guacamole π
I love this recipe, Rebecca, pumpkin hummus is one of my all time favourites, I am gonna give it a try with your spice combinations too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Then this is perfection!!!
Thank you dear!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table
I cannot choose between sweet and savory with pumpkin - it's all so good. I basically just need to resign myself to being orange.
Great idea with the hummus! I'd dip some carrots in it just in case it wasn't enough orange. π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Orange foods are kinda awesome...like orange means sweet or savory. Think sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots....it's all good either way!
I'm with you there!!! Orange on orange!
Janelle@The Peaceful Haven
Looks amazing!! I am going to try this today!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Please do! Let me know!!
Lucie
Delish! I'd personally go with sweet over savory any day but this hummus might just convert me π I love the creaminess and specific flavor of pumpkins, I could eat them by the pound in all kinds of dishes π Thanks for the recipe! <3
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I think you'll like it too π Any pumpkin lover!!
Of Goats and Greens
What a wonderful idea! Pumpkin anything is great! I've been wondering what to play with in the pumpkin department...
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Hummus is the way to go π
Jennifer
This looks AMAZING! I sooo want some right NOW! Great place you have here!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you so much Jennifer!
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition
I love anything pumpkin for fall so this is right up my alley! The recipe looks simple but delicious!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
So simple! And yes...super delicious! Thanks Mary Ellen!
Jen V.
I love hummus but would have never thought of putting pumpkin in it. I am going to have to try your recipe. It sounds really good.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Gotta put pumpkin in everything right now! Thanks Jen!
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth
I'm actually not sure I can decide between savoury or sweet pumpkin dishes. Sweet pumpkin recipes aren't a thing in Trinidad so I gre up eating only savory pumpkin. But sweet pumpkin recipes definitely have their place π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I say we have the savory of dinner and follow up with a big sweet pie π
Alyssa @ My Sequined Life
I love this hummus Rebecca! This year I've been loving savory pumpkin recipes (and of course sweet ones, too) so this is right up my alley. I would devour this!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, we can never not love any dish with pumpkin!
Bethany
I love hummus! This sounds like a great version to switch things up!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thanks Bethany!
Sarah Nenni Daher
Oh my goodness, this looks (and sounds) delicious! I have everything to make it and just need to say, you're right - not everyone appreciates savory, but I sure do!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes!!!! I hope you do make it Sarah!
Linda @ Veganosity
Hummus is my go to party dish. It's so easy and delicious. I love that you made a pumpkin version, it's so perfect for the season.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Totally! You'll always be the life of the party when you bring hummus!
Amy
Wow this looks so good π I'm always looking for new hummus recipes, I could literally live on it, so I'll definitely be trying this
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, hummus is pretty sustaining π
All that's Jas
What a great idea to add pumpkin! Perfect for the season.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yup! Haha!
Sina @ Vegan Heaven
This looks so delicious, Rebecca! I love both, hummus and pumpkin, so this is perfect for me! Can't wait to try your recipe! π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
One great creamy combo! Thanks Sina!
Miss Polkadot
Eating pumpkin all day, every day and adding it to everything? Oh yes! Okay, I'll admit I don't eat it ALL day but that's just because the supply over here is limited [to a very few months] and I'm not a real fan of sweet pumpkin, either. We don't grow up eating it this way over here and I'll admit just the thought of pumpkin pie ... no. Yes to savoury or undecided [read: plain steamed] when kabocha is involved. Pumpkin hummus combining two of my favourite foods - well, pumpkin and chickpeas, obviously - is right up my alley. I've actually been meaning to make it myself but was too lazy too prepare pumpkin puree first π .
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Hahahahaha! I loved your comment π
I think there is way more untapped potential when you keep it savory. People never think about it, but it can really make a dish spectacular, creamy, and keep you guessing!
Audrey @ Unconventional Baker
Well, you know I'm a sweets kinda girl, but when it comes to pumpkin I love it both ways -- probably because it makes my savory sweet haha π
Well, this looks delicious, Rebecca. Never tried a pumpkin hummus yet, but gonna have to change that soon π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I'd say so π We can never turn down anything with pumpkin!
Michele
I'm happy with pumpkin sweet or savory - it's so good all around π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I agree π
Suzan
Oh. My. Gosh -this sounds and looks fantastic - off to pin - thanks so much for sharing !
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you! It's my pumpkin-pleasure π
Hannah
I love pumpkin in savory applications! And I definitely love this recipe π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
It rocks! Thank you Hannah!
sue
What a yummy variation to the normal hummus. I love the addition of pumpkin and the herbs and spices.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you!

Even my kids would like this
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Everyone!
Chrisy @ Homemade Hooplah
This'll be perfect for all the upcoming fall get togethers π Beautiful photos, too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes it will! Thank you Chrisy!
Shashi at RunninSrilankan
Beans+Pumpkin+herbs=mouthwatering deliciousness! Thanks for this recipe Rebecca!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, agree! Thanks dear π
Emily
What a genius combination- hummus and pumpkin! This recipe seems like it will be a new Fall favorite of mine, thanks!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I'm sure it will be! It's on of mine!
Kathryn Grace
Savory or sweet pumpkin? Now that's a hard question to answer because there are so many ways to love pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, of course. Pumpkin scones, muffins, breads--both sweet and savory. But soups too. Your pumpkin hummus recipe is totally new to me. Have to give that a try. I'm thinking it might work just as well with butternut squash too. What do you think?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Well of course, but then it would be a different recipe. Butternut Squash hummus π
Liz
This looks really yummy! I bought pumpkin hummus in the store yesterday.. it had added sugar (which I normally stay away from) but it was one of the last ingredients so I gave it a try.. definitely still too sweet for me! Totally trying this instead π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
This will be 100000x better π
lucie
Oh my goodness, how delicious! Out of all the flavour hummus' Ive ever tried Ive never tried pumpkin - what a beautiful and fresh take on this magnificent dip!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You totally need pumpkin in your life for sure!
Kat
Oh. My. Word.
Yep, Im making this. Like, right now. Except I have nothing to dip into it. My finger is totally exceptable, right? π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Fingers are the best dipping device π
Sarah
Say what? My girls and I love sweet potato hummus but I have never made pumpkin hummus!!! I would totally swap you a jar of my Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter for this hummus! π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I'd say that's a deal π
Dani
Hummus and Pumpkin two of my favorites together. Definitely will have to try this soon.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you! You'll love it π
Katerina @ Diethood
This sounds amazing!! I love savory pumpkin dishes and I make something similar to this hummus. Beautiful flavors!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Savory pumpkin is the best!! You get to add all those lovely fall herbs!
Bianca @ ElephantasticVegan
As soon as I saw this Pumpkin Hummus on FB today, I loved it! What a wonderful idea to mix the pumpkin & chickpeas into a neat party dip! I haven't had anything with pumpkin yet this season, whaat?! I know π We don't have pumpkin puree here (so mean!), so I've used pumpkin only in savory dishes yet. But after seeing so many great sweet pumpkin recipes on pinterest, I'm really motivated to try some pumpkin cookies or cake or muffins or something like that π My favorite party dip (besides hummus) is guacamole. I could eat that stuff all day long, especially when served with homemade crackers π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Girl! Get you pumpkin-game going!!! I wish I could send you tons of cans of Libby's! Hahaha!
I think we should make some avocado pumpkin hummus π
Jessica Haynes
I feel like everyone is posting these delicious pumpkin recipes today! This looks so delicious and healthy, going to pin it for later!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
The pumpkin will not be stopping!
Natalie | Feasting on Fruit
What!?! I had no idea this amazingness was coming! I'm definitely team sweet when it comes to pumpkin, but when I do eat savory, dipping things is one of my favorite ways to go! This looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO inviting <3 And easy π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I want you to make this π I know you like hummus (obvs!) and pumpkin...so make it savory and savorify your life!!!!
Christie
I love the spices in your hummus. It screams Thanksgiving to me.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I feel like only using those herbs and spices this time of year!
Ali @ Home & Plate
This is a flavor combination I have not ever seen before but imagine it is sweet and savory. Perfect for fall football games.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
It's really lovely! Super creamy, but mostly just savory!
lindsay
pretty sure you are like me. I make a lot of hummus and eat it all before ever sharing. Glad you saved this one for us! haha I NEED !!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
O I have a ton more photographed...but pumpkin was most appropriate to share first π
Rachel @ Athletic Avocado
yes to all the pumpkin recipes! I have yet to make a savory pumpkin recipe though! Pumpkin hummus sounds amazing on my daily salad π
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
O you must! Savory is the way to go!
Christy
This looks real good! I going to make this today. What do you eat with this hummus? Veggies, crackers?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Anything you want, or as a spread. It's hummus, lol!
