# Directions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F. Peel and dice the butternut squash, toss it in oil with some salt and pepper, throw it onto a baking sheet, and bake for 35-40 minutes. Then let it cool.
02 -
Mix together the roasted squash, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, paprika, salt, olive oil, and water in a blender or food processor. Blend until it's as smooth as you want. Add more water if it’s still too thick.
03 -
On medium heat in a dry cast iron pan, toast the hazelnuts for 2-3 minutes. Rub them in a clean towel to get the skins off, then chop them up into rough pieces.
04 -
Toast sesame seeds until golden brown. Separately toast the cumin, fennel, coriander seeds, and peppercorns until they smell delicious and fragrant.
05 -
Grind up the toasted seeds, then mix them with the hazelnuts, dry thyme, sesame seeds, and a bit of sea salt. Stir to combine everything well.
