Roasted Squash Hummus

Cultural Context

Hummus has its roots in the Levant region of the Middle East, where it has been enjoyed for centuries as a nutritious dip or spread. Roasted squash hummus adds a seasonal twist to the classic chickpea recipe, infusing it with sweetness and vibrant color. This variation is particularly popular in autumn, showcasing the harvest of squash, and has found a place in modern diets as a healthy, plant-based option enjoyed worldwide.

1

To a hot pan over medium heat, add cinnamon, cloves, coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, and cumin seeds. Shake the pan to avoid burning and toast the spices for about a minute.

2

Transfer the spices into the mortar, add paprika and grind the spices into fine powder.

3

Now, slice the squash into fine cubes, season them with salt and pepper and place them on a roasting tray. Add spice blend to the squash along with ginger and garlic, drizzle some olive oil in a pan and mix them well for about 30 minutes.

4

Remove the squash from the pan and keep it aside to cool. Then, add the squash to a blender, add chickpeas, and tahini to the blender. Squeeze half lemon into the mixture and two tablespoons of olive oil. Blend them into a creamy smooth mixture.

5

Adjust the taste by adding the seasoning spices, transfer the hummus into a bowl, sprinkle some spice blend and serve with pitta bread or flatbread.
