Sweet Potato Spread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cook the potatoes in the microwave on high power until soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Holding potatoes in an oven mitt, peel (or peel when cool enough to handle).
• 2. Process the potatoes, garlic, pepper sauce, salt, cayenne, and lime juice in the workbowl of the food processor fitted with the metal blade until puréed. With the machine running, gradually add oil through the feeder tube. Continue to process, adding broth through the feeder tube until the mixture is light and silky. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Steps:

• Wash the sweet potato then steam for 20 to 30 minutes until tender,
• Cool & peel the potato, then puree it in a food processor (I usually just mash it with a hand-held potato masher!).
• Add the butter & process until smooth, then add the nutmeg & process until well-mixed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray; cook potatoes (covered with foil) for 15 minutes. Uncover and roast until tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bring carrots, onion and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium nonstick skillet. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Uncover; cook until water evaporates and vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. In a food processor, process potatoes with remaining ingredients until smooth. Add just enough water to make a spreadable paste, about 1 cup. Add carrot mixture; pulse until blended. Serve at room temperature or chilled, with whole-wheat pita wedges.
