Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1.5 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water (or as needed)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potato, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic clove, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and sea salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, toasted sesame seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, or an extra sprinkle of paprika if desired.
Serve immediately with fresh veggies, pita bread, or crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
