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.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 pita breads, each cut into 8 wedges (6 inch)
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
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin (not pie mix)
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
2
Place pita wedges on baking sheets; coat with cooking spray. Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes or until toasted.
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.

Great recipe I made this last year as a Thanksgiving appetizer and loved it! Definately let it sit over night!

This is definitely unique, and you can't beat the wonderful color and pumpkin flavor for a fall dish. I served this is at a football party, where it seemed to get a pretty neutral reaction. Most people thought it was fine, but didn't go back for more. It certainly has a strong pumpkin flavor, so I would make sure that the people you are making it for really like pumpkin. Thanks for sharing!

I really didn't love this. It kills me to say that though because it is such a great idea! It was a little to runny for my tastes. It also needed more of a kick (and I did add hot sauce). I'd love some suggestions about how to kick this recipe up a bit. Thanks for the great idea FloridaGrl!
