What is a fun fall snack for kids?

Pumpkin Hummus of course! Rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Great for a festive fall party. This recipe is from Cooking Light and would be super easy for kids to help with.




  • Pumpkin Hummus

  • 4 (6-inch) pitas, each cut into 8 wedges
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame-seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seed kernels, toasted (optional)
























Preheat oven to 425°.
Place pita wedges on baking sheets; coat with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 6 minutes or until toasted.
Place tahini and next 7 ingredients (through garlic) in a food processor, and process until smooth. Add parsley; pulse until blended. Spoon hummus into a serving bowl; sprinkle with pumpkin seed kernels, if desired. Serve with pita wedges.
