Equipment

  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Sheet Pan
  • Food Processor
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups Butternut Squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Yellow Curry Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ginger
  • 1/3 Cup Tahini
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1/2 tbsp Garlic minced
  • 1 15 oz can Chickpeas drained and 1/3 cup set aside
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Tumeric
  • 2-4 tbsp Water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
  • Carefully cut the skin off of a 1.75lb butternut squash, scoop out the seeds, and dice into cubes. It should be about 4 cups of cubed squash when you're done. Place the squash in a bowl and add 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tsp of yellow curry powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, and a 1/4 tsp of ginger. Mix everything together well and then pour the squash onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the squash is soft and caramelized in places. Once it's finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-8 minutes.
  • While you're waiting for the squash to bake, in your food processor combine 1/3 cup of tahini, 1 tbsp of lime juice, 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic, 1 15oz can of chickpeas (measure out 1/3 cup and set to the side for later though), 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of turmeric, and 2 tbsp of water.
  • After the squash has cooled for a moment, add it to the food processor as well. Blend everything together until it reaches a nice smooth hummus-like consistency. You may need to add up to 2 more tbsp of water if it seems too thick.
  • Once it's properly blended, scoop it out into a serving dish. Grab a small frying pan and add the 1/3 cup of reserved chickpeas and add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pan as well. Sauté on medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy.
  • Add the crispy chickpeas, sliced green onions, and some parsley to the top of your Curried Butternut Squash Hummus and serve with your delicious homemade Rosemary Sourdough Flatbread and enjoy!!
