This bean-free Paleo hummus is a healthier version of traditional hummus! It uses butternut squash and roasted garlic and is great if you are going to a party or a potluck. It also makes a nice afternoon snack. This recipe is completely bean-free. Many people are sensitive to beans and have digestive disturbances when they eat them. Beans do contain high levels of anti-nutrients which are hard to digest, but you won’t have to worry about any of that with this recipe.

Item. 9 of the Instructions says to add Olive Oil but no Olive Oil is mentioned in the ingredients…? How much Olive Oil should be used here?
