Sweet Potato And Onion Dip Recipes

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CHARRED ONION RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes multiple times with a paring knife or a fork. Place the potatoes along the outer edges of the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and bake until the potatoes are completely tender, about 1 hour. (If the potatoes are ready before you are ready to serve them, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and they will stay hot for up to 1 hour.)
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Cook the scallions over direct heat, turning once, until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely slice and add to a bowl. Mix in the sour cream, parsley, Ranch Rub and celery seeds. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To serve: Split the sweet potatoes down the middle with a knife and spoon some of the ranch sour cream over, letting it melt down into the potato. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 400 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup.

SWEET POTATO AND ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Using a vegetable brush and water, scrub the sweet potatoes to remove dirt, then place them on a sheet pan.
• Bake the sweet potatoes on the top rack until soft to the touch, about 1 1/4 hours. Let cool for at least 1 hour.
• Add grapeseed oil to a large skillet and heat over medium. Add sliced onion, fennel and jalapeño to the skillet and sauté for 15 minutes or until onions are soft and slightly browned. Set aside and let cool room temperature.
• Using your hands, gently peel the sweet potatoes and discard the skins. In a large bowl, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until you see tiny chunks. (The texture shouldn't be ultrasmooth.)
• Using a spoon, stir in the cooked onion mixture along with the ricotta, Parmesan, pecans, lime juice, maple syrup, anchovy oil (if using), salt, onion powder, vanilla and nutmeg. Store the dip in an airtight container, and place in the fridge until ready to eat. (If you have the time, the flavors are always better the next day.)
• Just before serving, stir to combine and season the dip to taste with salt. Drizzle it with olive oil, then top it with the reserved fennel fronds and crispy fried onions, if you like. Serve with any combination of bread, tortilla chips or celery sticks.

VIDALIA SWEET ONION DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir the mayonnaise, Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, Vidalia onion, and hot sauce together in a casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Place the potato on the baking sheet, and using a fork, repeatedly pierce the top of the sweet potato to keep it from exploding in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potato is fork-tender and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Cut sweet potato in half once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh, and place in a food processor or blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes. Blend until well combined and smooth. Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Spoon dip into a bowl, garnish with chopped pistachios, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.

• Place sweet potato slices in a single layer on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper; sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake at 200°F for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400°F; bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; cool completely.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add onion; sauté 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in shallots, thyme, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes or until golden brown.

SWEET POTATO & CARAMELISED ONION ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then cook in the microwave on high for 8-10 mins until softened. Or, bake in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, turning halfway through. Leave to cool a little, then cut in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the red onions and a pinch of salt for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally until softened and caramelised. Add the garlic, harissa and tomato purée and fry for 2 mins more. Tip the mix into the bowl with the sweet potato along with the coriander, then mash together. The filling should be mostly smooth, but not a purée. Season and leave to cool completely.
• Unroll the pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways into two long rectangles. Spoon half the filling down the middle of one of the rectangles and form it into a long sausage shape. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little of the milk, then fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Crimp using a fork to ensure the filling is enclosed, then repeat with the remaining filling and remaining rectangle of pastry.
• Cut the pastry along the length into 7cm-long rolls, then arrange, spaced apart, on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. The rolls can now be frozen on the tray. Once solid, put in a freezerproof container and freeze for up to three months. Brush with more milk, then sprinkle with the nigella seeds. Cut small slashes into the top of each roll. Bake for 25-30 mins (or 40 mins from frozen), turning halfway through, until golden.
