This Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus comes together with simple ingredients yet delivers big flavor. Creamy homemade hummus made with roasted sweet potatoes, canned chickpeas, tahini, fresh garlic, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and warming spices. You will love the bold and savory flavors with a hint of sweetness from sweet potato whipped together in this simple dip. Drizzle the hummus with olive oil and scoop it up with cut-up veggies, crackers, or pita chips for a worthy weeknight meal.
This easy dip starts with roasted sweet potatoes. And they are easy to do: Preheat the oven to 400 ℉. Peel and chop one small sweet potato into cubes. Place the cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast them up until tender. Let the sweet potato cubes cool, then add them to your food processor to make the hummus. I also love topping this hummus with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and fresh herbs like cilantro or fresh parsley.
