    Why add pumpkin to hummus? Pumpkin is incredibly rich in antioxidants and vitamins, especially Vitamin A. In fact, just 100 grams of pumpkin contains about 7,384 milligrams of Vitamin A, a whopping 246% of the recommended daily allowance. Pumpkin is also low in calories and is abundant in flavonoid poly-phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, xanthine, and carotene.

    If you love vegan hummus, try this delicious Roasted Been Hummus! And, if you're looking for recipes to pair this pumpkin hummus with, check out my Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes with garlic aioli, and my crispy Vegan Cauliflower Bites.

    Ingredients for Spicy Pecan Pumpkin Hummus

    An under-recognized, backyard vegetable, pumpkin is tasty and flavorful and adds an amazing zing to traditional, garbanzo bean hummus. It's also a good source of B-complex vitamins, such as folate, niacin, vitamin B-6, thiamine and pantothenic acid and supplies a rich supply of minerals such as copper, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

    Unfortunately, Michael had to leave for work before I was finished preparing the recipe. The last thing he said when he walked out the door: "be sure to save me some." And of course, I did.
