Pumpkin Hummus with Sage + Cranberries

Pumpkin Hummus with cranberries and sage. Vegan + easy to make

Happy Tuesday. Happy unofficial end of summer. Happy first day of pumpkin recipe sharing season.

I was waiting for the unofficial last weekend of summer to pass before I shared a pumpkin recipe. Of course, I have been participating in pumpkin recipe eating and pumpkin beer drinking since the end of July but can we keep that between you and I?

In addition to shopping, grilling, cleaning my house and beer consumption, I made two soon-to-be-shared pumpkin recipes over the weekend – vegan pumpkin spice coffee creamer and vegan pumpkin cream sauce. The pumpkin hummus I’m sharing with you today, well I made it 3 weeks ago. Yeah, I made it in August. I was preparing for pumpkin season early because I love fall and because I know people start looking for pumpkin recipes come early September.

Hey do you remember what I said on Thursday about reducing waste and using items I have in my pantry instead of buying groceries all the time? My goal is to stop the food waste and save money. I’m happy to report that I’ve only gone to the grocery store once since Thursday! This is a HUGE deal and a great accomplishment because I usually go to the grocery store at least twice during the weekend. I’m going to try to avoid the grocery store this week and only go once this weekend. I hope I can do it. I know I can do it.

  27. We don’t have tahini paste where I live. Very limited ingredients to what they can barge into our tiny little island. What is a good substitution?

  28. I have a party to go to this Sunday and I will be the only vegan. Am going to make this to take with me! Thanks for the recipe! : )

    • You’re welcome, Erin! Enjoy the recipe. :)

      • I made this today for the party and doubled the recipe so my son could take some home. This hummus is outstanding!!! Thought I would take advantage of fresh pumpkins while they are here so roasted a sugar pie pumpkin and scooped out the flesh instead of using canned. I always substitute raw sunflower seeds for pine nuts because they are so much cheaper and the taste doesn’t suffer. I also reached for the chipotle powder that I thought was in the spice bin and it had poofed so I used smoked paprika instead.
        So, now that I don’t have any for myself, am headed back to the store tomorrow to get another sugar pie pumpkin because this stuff is incredible! And I won’t have to share my batch with anyone : ) Thank you – this is a keeper!

        • Hi Erin,

          I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it. I think you’re going to inspire me to roast a pumpkin and make my own pumpkin puree! :)
