Ingredients

  • 2 sizable sweet potatoes, gently cooked to perfection
  • ⅓ cup of creamy tahini paste
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt for taste
  • 1 teaspoon of aromatic cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of dried chipotle pepper for a subtle kick
  • A pinch of fiery cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil, split for balance
  • Juice from half a lemon for a zesty twist
  • 2 tablespoons of chilled fresh water, if desired
  • A sprinkle of Aleppo pepper for a hint of warmth
  • Freshly chopped parsley leaves to beautifully garnish

Step 1

Transfer the soft sweet potato insides into a bowl and allow them to cool down until they reach room temperature, inviting a sense of calmness. Embrace the sweet potatoes with a blend of tahini and garlic, enhancing their flavor with a pinch of salt, the warmth of cumin, a touch of chipotle for depth, and a hint of cayenne for a subtle kick. Introduce a tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, elevating the mix with a zesty twist. Begin mashing everything together until the hummus achieves the desired velvety consistency. If needed, gently incorporate water to lighten the texture, incorporating one tablespoon at a time with a whisking motion.

Step 2

Wrap the bowl with a layer of plastic wrap and allow the flavors to mingle and develop in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing anticipation to build. When ready, savor the creation and fine-tune the seasonings to suit your palate, adding a personal touch.

Step 3

Spoon the hummus into a serving dish, treating it like a work of art. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, sprinkling a dash of Aleppo pepper for a burst of color and flavor, and garnish with fresh parsley to add a final flourish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place to prevent them from sprouting before you're ready to make your dip.
  2. 2. Store your homemade dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and flavorful.
