How to Make Butternut Squash Hummus
Prep Tips
I use my Ninja Home System to make hummus and I usually prefer my blender to the food processor when making hummus - it seems to do a better job getting a smooth texture.
Add all of the ingredients except the ice and blend for 4-5 minutes, until everything is starting to get smooth.
Add ice cubes, one at a time, blending for 4-5 minutes between additions.
The tahini and ice react to each other and the hummus will thicken at first. As you add ice it will thin out a bit and achieve a creamy, whipped texture.
Smooth the hummus into a large serving bowl. Serve as is or garnish with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and red pepper flakes.
Tips for making smooth, whipped hummus
What to serve with hummus
I like having hummus on toast for breakfast, sometimes with fried onions and mushrooms on top. Hummus is a great spread for sandwiches and also perfect for dipping Portobello Fries or homemade Tortilla Chips into. I always include a giant scoop of hummus in my grain bowls too like my Mediterranean Grain Bowl and my Chicken Shawarma Plate.
Storage
Store hummus in a container with a lid in the fridge for up to a week.
FAQs
Yes, you can substitute another winter squash for the butternut squash - like acorn or kabocha squash.
