Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups roasted butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 15 ounces (1 can) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 garlic cloves

Here's how to make it:

1. Add all ingredients except hazelnuts to a food processor or blender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
2. Pour into a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little more olive oil, sprinkle with more paprika and garnish with hazelnuts or roast the squash seeds and use those.
