Hummus is an ancient Middle Eastern mash, traditionally made with garbanzo beans, ground sesame seeds and olive oil.
Today many other ingredients are added to hummus to give a variety of flavors to this staple food.
The other day I made some roast carnival squash and had some cooked garbanzo beans, and thought I would try the two together. Delicious! Autumn in a bowl.
Here’s how I made it.
Of course, all ingredients should be organically-grown.

I just ate this with a fork, but I think cucumbers or celery would be great, or a gluten-free cracker.
