Instructions

Add cubed butternut squash and the unpeeled garlic cloves to a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil and a pinch each salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until all squash is fork-tender and the garlic is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes.
Peel roasted garlic and add to a blender or food processor, along with squash, orange juice, maple syrup, chickpeas (or prepared hummus), olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin.
Purée until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed and adding more olive oil or a touch of water if it's too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings. If desired, refrigerate until fully chilled - about 3-4 hours - for a thicker, creamier dip.
Place Hummus in a shallow serving bowl or plate, “swoosh” with a spoon. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spicy seeds
