Sweet-Potato Hummus

By krystallondon

Give this popular dip an earthy flavour and burst of colour with the addition of an antioxidant-rich sweet potato.

Ingredients

• 1 large Sweet Potato
• 1 (19 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp dark sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pierce the potato with a fork. Microwave on high until very soft, 4 to 6 minutes, or roast on a large baking sheet at 400F until tender, about 30 minutes.

2. When potato is cool enough to handle, cut in half. Scoop out flesh, then puree in a food processor along with the chickpeas, the lemon juice, the dark sesame oil, and the garlic. Salt and pepper to taste.
