Sweet Potato Hummus
From Power Foods [1]
Notes
I served my hummus alongside pita chips, but it would be delicious with any of your favorite crackers or chips.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot or smoked paprika, for garnish
Directions
- Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water. Set a steamer basket or colander inside the pot, and bring water to a boil. Add the potatoes, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until potatoes are tender (about 10 to 12 minutes).
- Transfer potatoes to a food processor. Add chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, oil, cumin, and garlic. Puree until smooth for about 1 minute. If its consistency is too thick for your liking, thin with up to 2 tablespoons of water.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Let cool, and refrigerate for up to 1 week in an airtight container. Garnish with paprika before serving.
