Ingredients

• 1 medium sweet potato
• 227 g container hummus, about 1 cup (250 ml)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground cumin

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pierce potato with a fork, then place in microwave on a piece of paper towel. Microwave on high until very soft, 4 to 6 min.

2. When cool enough to handle, cut in half. Using a spoon, scrape flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Stir in hummus, garlic and cumin. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with onion.

3. Dip will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 2 days. Sprinkle with onion just before serving. Excellent with celery sticks, toasted pita triangles or bread sticks.
