Golden Sweet Potato Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potato on a rimmed baking sheet and pierce it a few times with the tip of a knife. Bake the sweet potato until tender all the way through, about 1 hour. Allow to cool slightly.
• In a small skillet over low heat, warm the oil and garlic until the garlic is lightly browned and soft, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of a food processor, add the cooled oil and garlic, chickpeas, almond butter, lemon juice and salt and puree until smooth. Scoop the flesh of the sweet potato into the processor and puree again until combined and smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if needed. Remove the hummus to a bowl and stir in the za'atar, leaving a little swirl. Serve drizzled with olive oil alongside pita chips as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Poke holes all over sweet potatoes with a fork.
• Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes; let cool. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Combine garbanzo beans and olive oil in a blender and pulse several times to mash. Scoop flesh out of sweet potato peels and add to the blender; pulse to combine. Add tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, coriander, white pepper, and sea salt to mixture; blend until smooth, adding reserved garbanzo bean liquid as needed to make a smooth, creamy hummus.

Steps:

• Pierce potato with a fork, then place in microwave on a piece of paper towel.
• Microwave on high until very soft, 4 to 6 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, cut in half.
• Using a spoon, scrape flesh into a bowl.
• Mash with a fork until smooth.
• Stir in hummus, garlic and cumin.
• Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
• Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with onion.
• Dip will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 2 days.
• Sprinkle with onion just before serving.
• Excellent with celery sticks, toasted pita triangles or bread sticks.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the sweet potatoes onto a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes, if using, and the paprika, then toss to coat in the spiced oil. Spread out to a single layer. Trim away the root of the garlic cloves, then nestle these among the sweet potatoes. Roast for 30-35 mins until the potatoes have softened, tossing halfway through.
• Remove the tray from the oven and leave to cool completely. Tip the sweet potatoes into a food processor and squeeze in the garlic from its skin. Add the tahini and lemon juice, then blitz for 1 min until the potatoes have broken down.
• With the motor running, gradually pour in the remaining olive oil. Continue to blitz for up to 4 mins, or until you have a smooth paste. Pour in 50-60ml cold water to loosen, blitz again to combine, then season to taste. Spoon the hummus into a bowl and swirl with the back of a teaspoon, then drizzle over a little more olive oil and scatter with extra chili flakes, if you like. Serve with your choice of veg crudités, breadsticks or crackers and olives for dunking.
