Sweet Potato Hummus Recipe
Description
Sweet Potato Hummus Recipe features roasted sweet potatoes combined with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. The process starts by roasting diced sweet potatoes until tender, bringing out a mild sweetness. Chickpeas are simmered separately to soften before blending together with the other ingredients. The addition of cold water during blending creates a creamy texture without thinning the flavor. This hummus is smooth and richly flavored, with the tahini adding depth and the garlic providing a subtle punch.
Its creamy and balanced taste makes it suitable as a dip or spread, pairing well with pita, crackers, or fresh cut vegetables. The roasted sweet potatoes add both creaminess and a slightly sweet counterpoint to the savory chickpeas and garlic.
The prep is straightforward but roasting the sweet potatoes properly is key to achieving the right softness and depth of flavor. The hummus can be drizzled with extra olive oil when serving for added richness.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet potatoes diced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 ounce chickpeas canned
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 tablespons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup water cold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, place them on a baking sheet, and roast until they are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas to a small pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Drain the chickpeas, and then put them into your food processor. Add the roasted sweet potatoes, remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and garlic and blend until mostly smooth.
- Scrape the sides of the food processor and then, with the machine running, slowly pour in the cold water, using only enough to make the hummus super creamy.
- Serve in a bowl with extra olive oil drizzled over top and veggies and pita on the side for dipping.
