This year’s unusually hot summer is over and autumn has crept upon us, which means sipping chilled drinks, licking those brain freezing Popsicle and gorgeous bright cold shoulder floral dresses are numbered too. On the plus side, it’s time for cosy jumpers, long Boots, hot drinks to make a comeback, yay! I absolutely adore autumn fashion and style.

This roasted pumpkin and garlic hummus is packed with nutrition and full of flavours. Perfect for a healthy snacking or appetizer. This hummus is loaded with superfood ingredients like pumpkin and garlic all in one dip. It is deliciously creamy, with a hint of pumpkin spice. I used roasted garlic to bring out the sweetness and mildness and more soft depth flavours in this particular recipe as Pumpkin flavours are sweeter and trust me raw garlic makes this dish overpowering with a sharp taste.
