SPICY SWEET POTATO HUMMUS



Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus image

Vegan hummus that's bursting with flavor, both sweet and spicy. Enjoy it as a snack with pita wedges and veggies or as a spread!

Provided by Cookie and Kate

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.

SPICY SWEET POTATO HUMMUS



Spicy sweet potato hummus image

Avoid waste and enjoy a filling snack by using leftover sweet potatoes in this hummus recipe - it has a spicy kick thanks to smoked paprika and chilli flakes

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Snack, Starter

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4-6 as a snack

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400g), peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes, plus extra to serve (optional)
1 tsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tbsp tahini
1 lemon, juiced
vegetable crudités, breadsticks or crackers and pitted olives, to serve

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.
