For an extra smooth hummus, use a food processor instead of mashing by hand. Roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them will intensify their natural sweetness and add a hint of smoky flavor to the final dish. Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Smoked paprika, coriander, or a touch of maple syrup can all add interesting dimensions. Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or your favorite crackers for a delicious and satisfying appetizer or snack.

Follow The Directions
01
StepScoop the flesh of the cooked sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature. (Approximately 15 minutes)
02
StepAdd the tahini and crushed garlic to the cooled sweet potatoes. Season generously with kosher salt, ground cumin, chipotle powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the juice of half a lemon. (Approximately 5 minutes)
03
StepUsing a fork or a potato masher, mash the mixture until it reaches your desired smoothness. For a lighter, more airy texture, add cold fresh water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. (Approximately 5-10 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (Minimum 2 hours)
05
StepBefore serving, taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Transfer the Sweet Potato "Hummus" to a serving bowl. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, followed by a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper for a touch of warmth and freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant garnish. (Approximately 5 minutes)
