A creamy, naturally sweet, and subtly spiced hummus dip featuring roasted sweet potatoes, perfect for fall snacks and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound / 450 grams), peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 grams) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) tahini
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2–4 tablespoons (30–60 ml) water or aquafaba

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potato into roughly 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Spread the sweet potato cubes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  5. While the sweet potatoes roast, drain and rinse the canned chickpeas.
  6. In a food processor, combine roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Pulse a few times to start blending.
  7. With the processor running, drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and gradually add 2-4 tablespoons water or aquafaba. Scrape down the sides as needed and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add salt starting with 1/2 teaspoon and blend briefly. Taste and adjust lemon juice, salt, or spices as preferred.
  9. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for 30 minutes if desired, or serve immediately with fresh veggies, pita chips, or crackers.

Notes

For a smoother texture, peel the skins off the chickpeas before blending. Adjust water or aquafaba to reach desired consistency. Roasting sweet potatoes at high heat caramelizes their natural sugars for better flavor. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Avoid freezing as texture changes.
