Serve with pita bread, veggies, crackers, or eat straight out of the bowl.

SMOKY SWEET POTATO HUMMUS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes and cook until fork tender, about 7 minutes. Drain sweet potatoes and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes. Toss all the ingredients into a food processor and whirl away until smooth (if you are sensitive to spice you may want to add the spices last and add a little at time and taste test as you go) This dip tastes amazing while still warm! However, it tastes just as great chilled. Add more spices each day if the hummus mellows out too much.

SWEET POTATO HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Poke holes all over sweet potatoes with a fork.

SMOKED HUMMUS

Steps:

• Set up a smoke box or foil pan with 1 cup of wood chips. Place under the grill grates of a gas grill on top of a burner. Preheat the grill to 300 degrees F with the direct heat under the pan with the wood chips.
• Slice a little off the top of the head of garlic to expose the top of the cloves. Drizzle the cloves with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and wrap it in foil. Place the chickpeas into a colander that is entirely metal. Cover the colander with foil. Place both the chickpeas and garlic on the cool side of the grill. Close the grill and let the chickpeas smoke for 30 minutes and the garlic cook for 1 hour, until the cloves are soft. Remove the chickpeas and let cool while the garlic finishes cooking.
• About 10 minutes before the garlic is done, place the lemon halves, cut-side down, on the grill over direct heat and grill until slightly charred and grill marked, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool and then squeeze the juice from the lemons through a strainer into a bowl.
• When the garlic is done, let cool for about 10 minutes and then unwrap from the foil and squeeze the garlic head over a small bowl to remove the softened cloves.
• Combine the cooled, smoked chickpeas, roasted garlic, tahini, salt, cumin, juice from the grilled lemons and water in a food processor. Blend for 2 minutes, and then drizzle in the remaining 3/4 cup olive oil. Continue to blend until completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. If the hummus is too thick, add some more water to achieve desired consistency.
• Transfer the hummus to serving bowl and garnish with chopped roasted red peppers, paprika, parsley if using and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with seasoned pita chips on the side.
• Add the pita chips to a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat. Combine the paprika and garlic salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pita chips and toss to coat.

SPICY SWEET POTATO HUMMUS

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.
