Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

How to Make Spicy Hummus with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Spread them out in a single layer.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the hummus. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more cayenne for heat or salt as needed.
  6. Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  7. Serve the hummus in a shallow bowl, topped with the roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to rinse the chickpeas well to remove any canning liquid for a smoother texture.
  • For an extra creamy hummus, you can peel the skins off the chickpeas before blending.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to your spice preference for a milder or spicier dip.
  • Let the roasted sweet potatoes cool slightly before adding them to the hummus to maintain their texture.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the sweet potatoes for roasted carrots or beets for different flavors.
  • Add a tablespoon of sriracha or harissa to the hummus for an extra kick.
  • Incorporate fresh herbs like cilantro or basil into the hummus for added freshness.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh vegetable sticks like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
  • Pita chips or toasted pita bread for dipping.
  • Grilled meats or fish for a flavorful side.
  • A side salad to complement the flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The roasted sweet potatoes can also be stored separately and reheated in the oven or microwave. Hummus does not need to be reheated; simply enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.
