Ingredients
- 1 pound purple sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), cubed No need to peel; cut into pieces approx. 1- to 1.5-inches in size
- 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into thick slices
- 2 tablespoon tahini or other nut or seed butter add more if you like
- 1 small lemon, juiced

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
