⢠Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel garlic. Cut pumpkin into bite-sized chunks. ⢠Place pumpkin and garlic on a lined oven tray. ⢠Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb spice blend and toss to coat. ⢠Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!

⢠Meanwhile, boil the kettle. ⢠Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Drain chickpeas. Cook chickpeas in the boiling water, over high heat, until softened, 7-8 minutes. Drain, allow to cool slightly and transfer to a food processor. ⢠Zest lemon to get a generous pinch, then cut in half.

⢠When pumpkin is cooled, transfer to food processor with chickpeas. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, a splash of water, the salt, lemon zest and the juice of the lemon. Season generously with pepper. ⢠Blitz until a smooth consistency.

⢠Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with everything garnish and pepitas. Enjoy!
