Smoky Sweet Potato Hummus Recipe 455

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes and cook until fork tender, about 7 minutes. Drain sweet potatoes and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes. Toss all the ingredients into a food processor and whirl away until smooth (if you are sensitive to spice you may want to add the spices last and add a little at time and taste test as you go) This dip tastes amazing while still warm! However, it tastes just as great chilled. Add more spices each day if the hummus mellows out too much.

Steps:

• Fill a medium pot with 0.5 cm of water. Add sweet potatoes and 'steam' for 10 or so minutes, until sweet potatoes are completely soft. Drain and rinse under cold water. While sweet potatoes are steaming, assemble the remaining ingredients in the base of a 7-cup food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add steamed sweet potatoes to remaining ingredients and process on high for one minute. Scrape sides of food processor and process on high for another minute. Serve with pita bread, veggies, crackers, or eat straight out of the bowl.

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Scoop sweet potato flesh into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature.
• Add tahini and garlic to the sweet potatoes. Season with salt, cumin, chipotle, and cayenne. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Mash until hummus reaches desired smoothness. Add water to lighten the texture; whisk in 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle remaining olive oil, Aleppo pepper, and parsley over the top.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
• Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, paprika, cumin, and coriander to a blender. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape the flesh into the blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, 3-5 minutes.
• Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use a spoon to make a swirl pattern. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and paprika, then drizzle with the olive oil. Serve with vegetables or pita bread and cucumber celery juice.
• Enjoy!
