Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Water, as needed for consistency
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • Pita chips or fresh veggies, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  6. In a food processor, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika.
  7. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  8. If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice if desired.
  10. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped parsley.
  11. Serve with pita chips, fresh veggies, or use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Stir before serving and add a splash of water or olive oil if it thickens.
  • Feel free to customize with add-ins like roasted garlic, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, or fresh herbs.
