White Bean Pumpkin Hummus

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A fun fall season take on the traditional chickpea hummus, this White Bean Pumpkin Hummus is a delicious and nutrient packed snack perfect for dipping. It also makes a light appetizer for thanksgiving meals. This White Bean Pumpkin Hummus made with fried sage may be my new favourite hummus recipe!


This non-traditional hummus dip uses white beans instead of the classic chickpeas and subs peanut butter for the typical tahini. The peanut butter here complements the sweeter flavour of the pumpkin, while the fried sage adds an aromatic herby flavour.

How to make White Bean Pumpkin Hummus:

  1. Add the white beans, pumpkin, spices, peanut butter and lemon juice to a food processor then blend until smooth.
  2. Next, heat a small frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. When its hot, add the sage leaves and garlic. Stir fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to make sure the leaves and garlic don’t burn.
  3. Remove from heat and add to the hummus mixture in the food processor. Blend again until the sage and garlic has been incorporated. You may find the hummus becomes smoother and creamier thanks to the olive oil!
  4. Optional: Fry some extra sage leaves in olive oil in the same pan over medium high heat to reserve for topping.
  5. Enjoy with your favourite veggies, whole grain crackers or pretzels!

Ingredients:
•16 oz dry tagliatelle pasta, or pasta of choice
•1 cup reserved pasta water
•2 tsp olive oil
•1 medium zucchini, sliced into ribbons
•1 medium carrot, sliced or peeled into thin ribbons
•1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
•1/2 cup frozen green peas

Creamy Lemon Parmesan Sauce
•2 tbsp olive oil
•3 large cloves garlic, minced
•2 tbsp all-purpose flour
•1 1/2 cups whole milk (3.25% M.F.) *Swap for lactose free milk if needed, it’s just as nutritious!
•1 cup freshly-grated block parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
•1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves, or 1/2 tsp dried basil
•Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon
•Freshly cracked black pepper for topping

Method summary:
1. Cook the pasta in salted water to 2 minutes less than al dente according to the package. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before straining.
2. In a large frying pan sauté the veggies in 2 tsp oil for 4-7 minutes.

Sauce:
3. Heat a separate medium saucepan over medium to medium-low heat and add the oil once hot. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds then whisk in the flour.
4. Whisk the flour and oil constantly for 30-90 seconds until it turns golden brown, careful not to over cook. Once the mixture starts to turn golden brown, gradually whisk in the milk. 
5. Increase the heat to bring the sauce to a rapid simmer then mix in the cheese. Turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer stirring frequently for 3-5 mins until slightly thickened. 
6. Mix the basil, lemon zest, juice and the cooked veggies and pasta into the sauce. Add a bit of reserved pasta water for creaminess, if needed. Top with more cheese and black pepper prior to serving.

Re-sharing because this salad deserves all the spo Re-sharing because this salad deserves all the spotlight 🥗

This has quickly become one of my favourite way to eat veggies this spring. This salad is so fresh and packs in so much nutrition on its own, & I love pairing it with some rice noodles to create more of a balanced meal. Plus, everything is better with more carbs 🥖

Peanut Sauce: adds healthy fats (dietary fats are so filling!)
Veggies: add lots of fibre
Edamame Beans: a great source of protein
Rice Noodles: add complex carbohydrates and a little more fibre 

All these nutrients combined create a satisfying, balanced meal that will keep you full for hours.
