Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium sweet potato (about 12 ounces)
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
1/4 cup toasted almond butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon za'atar
Pita chips, for serving

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.

Categories     Dip

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cooked chickpeas (or one can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained)
3 tablespoons tahini
3 cloves garlic, peeled
juice of 1 lemon
zest of 1/2 lemon
ground sea salt, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (start with less, season to taste)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the sweet potatoes on the middle oven rack or in a baking dish for 45 minutes to an hour. They should yield to a gentle squeeze when they're done baking.
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooling, toss all of the other ingredients into a food processor (if you're sensitive to spice, you may want to save the spices for last and add them to taste). Once the sweet potatoes have cooled enough to handle, use a knife or your fingers to peel the skin off of them. Add the sweet potatoes to the food processor.
  • Blend well, and serve! I garnished mine with a light sprinkle of cayenne pepper and sesame seeds.

SWEET POTATO "HUMMUS"



Sweet Potato

This was simply a case of me wanting hummus, not having garbanzo beans, and making it anyway with sweet potatoes. I don't blame you if you're skeptical, but this stuff has the same taste and texture as hummus, just with a slightly sweet finish reminiscent of red pepper hummus. My wife, Michele, who has a much more discerning palate than I do, said that if blindfolded, she'd have trouble distinguishing this from real hummus.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. This will give the hummus a smoother texture and a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can use canned chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • For a creamier hummus, use a food processor instead of a blender. This will help to break down the chickpeas and create a smoother texture.
  • Add your favorite seasonings to the hummus to taste. Some popular options include garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and paprika.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or a dip for chicken or fish.
  • Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
