This was simply a case of me wanting hummus, not having garbanzo beans, and making it anyway with sweet potatoes. I don’t blame you if you’re skeptical, but this stuff has the same taste and texture as hummus, just with a slightly sweet finish reminiscent of red pepper hummus. My wife, Michele, who has a much more discerning palate than I do, said that if blindfolded, she’d have trouble distinguishing this from real hummus.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked until tender
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons cold fresh water (Optional)
- 1 pinch ground Aleppo pepper
- freshly chopped parsley leaves for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Scoop sweet potato flesh into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Add tahini and garlic to the sweet potatoes. Season with salt, cumin, chipotle, and cayenne. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Mash until hummus reaches desired smoothness. Add water to lighten the texture; whisk in 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 3
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle remaining olive oil, Aleppo pepper, and parsley over the top.
Chef’s Notes:
Make sure your sweet potatoes are very, very tender. Measure out 2 cups if yours are already mashed.
