Pumpkin Hummus


Submitted by cat3118

Makes 10 servings

A nice change of pace from the usual hummus. You can find pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas, in groceries and Mexican markets. Prepare up to a day ahead and refrigerate.

Ingredients
4 pita breads, each cut into 8 wedges (6 inch)
1 cooking spray
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
15 ounce pumpkin (not pie mix)
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. 2. Place pita wedges on baking sheets; coat with cooking spray. Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes or until toasted.

  3. 3. Place tahini and next seven ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor, and process until smooth. Add parsley, pulse until blended. Spoon hummus into a serving bowl, sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seed kernels, if desired. Serving size: 3 wedges pita and 3 tablespoons hummus per person.
