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!

New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice I am late to the game New! Viral Shaved Fruit Ice

I am late to the game but needed to try this trending shaved fruit ice idea by @littlefatboyfrankie

It is super refreshing and a fun way to use up seasonal fruit you may have laying around (hello peach season!). 

This is my take on this delicious idea, rainbow sherbet using clementines, kiwi and strawberries. Follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious recipes! 

Ingredients:
* 1 clementine, peeled 
* 1 large strawberry
* 1 kiwi, peeled
* Optional: whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, finely chopped nuts

Method:
1. Freeze the fruit, or fruit of choice overnight or until frozen solid, about 8 hours. 
2. Option to place your serving bowl in the freezer or fridge to chill before serving, as the shaved ice starts to melt quickly. 
3. Using a microplane, grate your frozen fruit into the chilled bowl. 
4. Top with whipped cream, or toppings of choice like the sweetened condensed milk, chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios. 
5. Enjoy immediately!

Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed Sheet pan me Honey Dijon Salmon @thedietitianfeed

Sheet pan meals are always a go to during busy weeks. This one does not disappoint!
Like and save this post to make later and follow me @thedietitianfeed for more delicious, healthy recipes!

Ingredients:
Maple Dijon Sauce:
*  ¼ cup dijon mustard
*  2 tbsp maple syrup
*  1 tbsp lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar
*  1 clove garlic, minced
*  1 tbsp olive oil
*  Freshly cracked black pepper
*  Pinch salt
Other:
*  1 large head broccoli, cut into bite size pieces (including most of the stems)
*  1 lb mini round potatoes, sliced in half
*  2 salmon filets (or 1 large piece of salmon)

Method:
1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.  Stir together the ingredients for the maple dijon sauce. Place the chopped potatoes in a mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of the sauce to the bowl, mix well.
3. Place the potatoes on the lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. While that cooks, add the broccoli to the same mixing bowl and add about 2 tbsp of sauce to the broccoli, mix well and set aside. I like using the stems of the broccoli as well by peeling the tougher outer layer, then roughly dicing the stem. 
4. Use the remaining sauce to marinate the salmon. Place the salmon and sauce in a shallow bowl and allow to marinate until the potatoes are finished baking. Once the potatoes have baked, add the broccoli and salmon to the same sheet and bake for another 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
