Description

A creamy and flavorful twist on traditional hummus, this Sweet Potato Hummus combines roasted sweet potatoes with classic hummus ingredients for a nutritious and delicious dip or spread.


Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato, roasted and peeled
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  2. In a food processor, combine roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika (if using), and salt.

  5. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil or garnish as desired.
