Serves:

Ingredients

1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon harissa paste
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: extra olive oil, paprika, chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the diced butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden.
In a food processor, combine the roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, minced garlic, tahini, harissa paste, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil. Process until smooth and creamy.

Serve with pita bread, veggie sticks, or crackers.
