Garlic-Curry Hummus & Sweet Potato Chips

By davidv

"Store-bought hummus is good; this homemade recipe is exceptional. The sweet potato chips make it even tastier…sweet, salty, crunchy, and healthy!" —David

Tip: Not a curry fan? Skip it; this hummus becomes a basic recipe that’s open for adaptation. Try adding extra lemon, garlic, or even herbs like mint, basil, or chives.

Ingredients

• Hummus:
• 2 (19-oz) cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup tahini paste
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1-1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 Tbsp water
• Sweet Potato Chips:
• 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the hummus, add all the ingredients to a food processor and purée until smooth.

Follow the manufacturer directions to prepare the chips with the Orka Chip Maker. Or, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Spray the potatoes with cooking spray, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately with the hummus.
