Preparation
Step 1
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the butternut squash, 1 Tbsp olive oil, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and 1/4 tsp salt.
Lay the squash in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and fork-tender. Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, add the cooled squash, chickpeas, apple butter, maple syrup, orange zest and juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt. Purée until fully combined.
Place the mixture in a mixing bowl, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Garnish the hummus with olive oil and roasted pumpkin seeds. Serve with apples and/or pears, grilled pita, and graham crackers.
