Roasted butternut squash is one of my favorite foods. And hummus is another of my favorite foods. So a roasted butternut squash hummus? Is heaven!
This healthy hearty butternut squash hummus makes a fabulous dip for flat breads or fresh raw veggies, or use it as a healthy spread. Serve it alongside rice or just eat it as it is, like a butternut squash hummus mash!
It’s super easy to make, the hardest part of it (which isn’t hard at all) is roasting the butternut squash. Once that’s done, you’re 5 minutes away from the creamiest dreamiest hummus.
I wanted to go for a bit of extra texture in this hummus so along with the tahini I added in some whole sesame seeds. It worked out great!
It’s smooth creamy hummus, but with a bit of crunch/texture too.
And then you definitely want to sprinkle some more sesame seeds over the top. That’s just common sense really!
And then if you love hummus generally….then you’re going to want to see our other awesome hummus recipes, like our spicy hummus, pumpkin hummus and roasted garlic hummus!
