kalejunkie ✨ my BUTTERNUT SQUASH HUMMUS WITH CRISPY QUINOA is here right in time for the holidays! It is so flavorful, delicious, easy to make—and it’s so pretty! The crispy quinoa on top and the pickled onions are the chefs kiss, with so many different flavors and textures happening all at once. I cannot wait for you to try this 😊. I love serving with pita chips, but it pairs perfectly with a veggie platter too!

PSA: my food processor and baking sheets are on big sale for Black Friday, so comment LINK and I will DM you now! Be sure to SHARE this post FOLLOW kalejunkie for more recipes like this :)

Makes 8 servings
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 tb olive oil, salt & pepper to taste
2 cups butternut squash (2 cups cubed)
2 tb olive oil
1 tsp cumin, salt & pepper to taste

1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
3 tb olive oil
1 lemon, juiced (1/4 cup)
1 tsp cumin, divided
1 tsp ground turmeric 
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup water, if needed to thin
Optional: 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Garnishes: pomegranate, pickled onions, chopped pistachios

Preheat oven to 400F. Chop butternut squash and spread it onto a small baking sheet. Toss with a generous drizzle of olive oil, 1 tsp cumin, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 30-35 minutes, tossing the squash halfway through. Remove from oven once fork tender. Meanwhile, on another small baking sheet, add the cooked quinoa. Toss with a generous drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread into an even layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, mixing half way through. Be sure to watch carefully so it doesn’t burn. Finally, in a food processor add the roasted butternut squash, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, turmeric, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Process until as smooth as possible, about 3 minutes. If your hummus is too thick, add the water. Once smooth, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Spread hummus onto a serving plate and top with the crispy quinoa and your other garnishes—pomegranate, chopped pistachios, pickled onions, and chives. ENJOY!
