This savory rosemary pumpkin hummus is a beautiful combination of flavors that put a unique spin on traditional hummus. Making hummus from scratch is super easy and the flavor combo of rosemary and pumpkin is so freaking good. We love making this recipe for parties, using as a spread on sandwiches, or a dip for veggies and crackers!
Savory Pumpkin Hummus Recipe with Rosemary
We love a good hummus and this rosemary pumpkin hummus is no exception. A lot of pumpkin recipes are sweet so whenever we create a savory one, we're excited! The rosemary gives this pumpkin hummus an earthy flavor and holiday vibes, which is why we love making this recipe in the fall and winter. The texture is smooth and creamy, making it the perfect spread on a sandwich (hummus is a great alternative to mayo!) or dip for veggies and crackers. We've also used this pumpkin hummus to make a salad dressing for our festive fall salad!
Ingredient Highlights - Rosemary Pumpkin Hummus
- Chickpeas - these are the base to most hummus recipes. They're full of fiber and some protein, as well as folate and iron.
- Pumpkin - the pumpkin flavor is subtle in this recipe but it's just right! Pumpkin adds a little more fiber, vitamin A, iron, magnesium, and potassium (fun fact: a serving of pumpkin has more potassium than a banana!).
- Tahini - tahini is another main component of traditional hummus. The sesame seeds add a smooth, nutty flavor that makes it so good! It's a source of unsaturated fat, calcium, iron, magnesium, and thiamin!
- High-quality extra virgin olive oil - using a good EVOO is soo important when making recipes that aren't going to be cooked (i.e. hummus, salad dressing, drizzling on soup, etc.). Good EVOO has a distinct delicious flavor that really adds to this savory rosemary pumpkin hummus!
- Rosemary - our recipe calls for fresh rosemary but you can use dried! Rosemary actually contains antioxidants that can help fight inflammation and boost your immune system.
Recipe FAQ
Absolutely. The main ingredients are chickpeas, tahini, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. You can add any other flavors (like pumpkin and rosemary!) to switch it up. Simply toss everything in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth! That's it!
We always keep store hummus in an air-tight container in the fridge and will keep it for up to 5 days!
We love serving it with fresh veggies (carrots, cucumbers, celery), baked pita chips, and rosemary crackers! We've also used this hummus to make a salad dressing (link to our Festive Fall Salad below) and as a spread on a sandwich or pita!

10/10 recommend making this hummus. The rosemary flavor comes through so well and pairs great with the pumpkin. Perfect for fall but really any time of year.
