Pumpkin is often used in sweet dishes this time of year, which is one of many reasons I covet this 10-Minute Savory Pumpkin Hummus recipe.
It’s complemented with garlic, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, and thyme for an elevated take on a classic autumnal favorite.
Pumpkin is loaded with immune-supportive vitamin A, which is essential for healthy mucous membranes—one of our first lines of defense against outside pathogens.
