Savory Pumpkin Hummus

This savory pumpkin hummus puts a seasonal twist on traditional hummus by blending pumpkin puree with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and warm spices. The pumpkin adds a creamy texture and subtle sweetness, while the savory seasonings keep it firmly in appetizer territory rather than dessert.
