  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange purple sweet potato and onion in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the potatoes, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Transfer the onion and sweet potatoes to the bowl of a large food processor. Add the tahini, lemon juice, chipotle, smoked paprika and salt. Process until chunky.
  3. With the processor running, drizzle a few tablespoons of water through the feed tube. Check the consistency, and add more water or tahini if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning.
