I wanted something easy and fitting for an autumn gathering. I found a sweet potato hummus recipe and altered it to make it even easier to make. It is a nice combination of naturally sweet and typically savory. Serve with pita wedges, crackers, or cut veggies.

Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes

  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (reserve liquid) and rinsed

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

  • sea salt to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Poke holes all over sweet potatoes with a fork.

  3. Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes; let cool. Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.

  4. Combine garbanzo beans and olive oil in a blender and pulse several times to mash. Scoop flesh out of sweet potato peels and add to the blender; pulse to combine. Add tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, coriander, white pepper, and sea salt to mixture; blend until smooth, adding reserved garbanzo bean liquid as needed to make a smooth, creamy hummus.
