Hummus! Yes – Hummus! You might wonder, why even making my own hummus if I get all kinds of hummus in a store? Well, that’s easy:
First: I have not seen a butternut squash roasted hummus
Second: Do you really want to put all these nasty oils (vegetable oil, canola oil…) into your body? I don’t. Plus it really takes only a few minutes of your time to whip it up.
Who does not like hummus? Anyone? I don’t think so. The creamier the better – the original recipe is awesome, but it’s also nice to switch it up once in a while. Roasted butternut squash along with the roasted garlic gives it a nice sweet, ‘squashy’ and mild ‘garlic-y’ flavor.
Aaaaand just think about all the things you can use it for: wraps, salads, sandwiches, bowls, even pasta dishes! It is seriously never a bad idea to have homemade hummus in your fridge!
