Creamy, smoky, and gently spiced — this white-bean-and-pumpkin dip is fall in a bowl and comes together in under ten minutes. Set it out with warm pita and watch it go.
Ingredient Spotlight. Our Rosemary Fused Olive Oil brings a piney, savory backbone (and a beautiful finishing drizzle), while a spoon of our Vermont Maple Dark Balsamic Vinegar adds a whisper of New England sweetness that balances the smoke.
Ingredients
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
½ can pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
3 Tbsp Rosemary Fused Olive Oil (plus more to finish)
1 tsp Vermont Maple Dark Balsamic · 1 Tbsp garlic, minced · 2 Tbsp tahini
1 tsp cumin · 1 tsp smoked paprika · pinch cinnamon · salt to taste
To finish: a spoon of Pepitas; a drizzle of Rosemary oil
Instructions
Combine the beans, pumpkin, Rosemary oil, Maple balsamic, garlic, tahini, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor.
Purée until creamy and smooth, scraping down as needed. Taste and adjust — more salt, more smoke, more oil for silkiness.
Spread into a bowl, swirl the top, and finish with a drizzle of Rosemary oil and a scatter of pepitas. Serve with warm pita and vegetables.
Chef's Notes
Chill a few hours for a thicker, creamier dip.
Toast the pepitas for extra crunch and nutty depth.

Rosemary oil is a savory-cooking staple — come find your bottle at the shop.
This is one of those quietly perfect little recipes — warm fig compote spooned over cool Greek yogurt, with cinnamon-toasted walnuts and oats for crunch. It is a protein-packed breakfast that feels like dessert, and it comes together in about fifteen minutes.
This cheesecake is everything you want from a cold-weather dessert — dense yet creamy, fluffy and silky at once, crowned with warm spiced pears in a glossy balsamic glaze. It celebrates autumn and winter flavors but, in our experience, gets requested year-round.
This is the appetizer that quietly steals the party — grilled bread, cloud-soft whipped ricotta, cool heirloom tomatoes, and a dark, glossy balsamic reduction over the top. It is savory and sweet and fresh all at once, with a satisfying crunch, and it comes together faster than you would think.
