Ingredients
Roasted Butternut Squash Hummus:
- 1 Small butternut squash, peeled and chopped (About 220g when cubed)
- 1 400g can cannellini beans, only half drain it as adding some of the liquid to the food processor makes it creamier
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 pinch Sea salt and black pepper
- 1 handful Fresh coriander
- 2 tbsp Ras-el-hanout
- 1 Lemon (juice only)
Pita Chips:
- 1 Pita bread per person
- Spray oil
- Ras-el-hanout
Instructions
Roasted Butternut Squash Hummus:
- Put the butternut squash cubes and garlic cloves (not peeled) in to a roasting tin and drizzle over 1 tbsp of olive oil and some salt and pepper and mix well. Put in a preheated oven at 190C for 25 minutes.
- Add the cooked butternut squash to a food processor and squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin and add to the food processor too.
- Put the remaining hummus ingredients in to the food processor and blend until smooth. It you want it a little chunky, don’t over process it. But we like our hummus super smooth.
Pita Chips:
- For the baked pita chips, slice the pita breads in half, so they become thin pita breads and then cut them in to triangles. Put the triangles on a baking tray, spray with oil and sprinkle with ras-el-hanout and then put in the preheated oven at 190c for 12 minutes until they have crisped up.
