Avoid waste and enjoy a filling snack by using leftover sweet potatoes in this hummus recipe - it has a spicy kick thanks to smoked paprika and chilli flakes

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Snack, Starter

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4-6 as a snack

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 400g), peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes, plus extra to serve (optional)
1 tsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tbsp tahini
1 lemon, juiced
vegetable crudités, breadsticks or crackers and pitted olives, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the sweet potatoes onto a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes, if using, and the paprika, then toss to coat in the spiced oil. Spread out to a single layer. Trim away the root of the garlic cloves, then nestle these among the sweet potatoes. Roast for 30-35 mins until the potatoes have softened, tossing halfway through.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and leave to cool completely. Tip the sweet potatoes into a food processor and squeeze in the garlic from its skin. Add the tahini and lemon juice, then blitz for 1 min until the potatoes have broken down.
  • With the motor running, gradually pour in the remaining olive oil. Continue to blitz for up to 4 mins, or until you have a smooth paste. Pour in 50-60ml cold water to loosen, blitz again to combine, then season to taste. Spoon the hummus into a bowl and swirl with the back of a teaspoon, then drizzle over a little more olive oil and scatter with extra chili flakes, if you like. Serve with your choice of veg crudités, breadsticks or crackers and olives for dunking.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor, making them ideal for hummus.
  • Use quality tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Add some sweetness: Sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar can help balance out the tanginess of the lemon juice and yogurt.
  • Don't over-process the hummus: Over-processing the hummus can make it too smooth and runny. Pulse the ingredients until they are well combined, but still have a bit of texture.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint add a pop of color and flavor to the hummus.

Conclusion:

Sweet and tangy hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with a variety of snacks and meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different sweeteners, herbs, and spices to create your own unique hummus recipe. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer, a snack, or a spread for sandwiches or wraps, sweet and tangy hummus is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
