In a food processor, add the pumpkin puree, tahini, crushed garlic cloves, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Pulse the mixture for about 30 seconds to combine all the ingredients.

Continue blending the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes until you achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy consistency.

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil over the blended pumpkin hummus.

Pause to taste your pumpkin hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl. Drizzle extra olive oil on top and sprinkle with optional pumpkin seeds.
