How to Make Sweet Potato Hummus
Ingredients:
- As always, let’s make sure that we have all of our hummus ingredients.
- Bake your sweet potato until soft and tender. The cook time will vary depending on the size of your tater. Personally, I like to cook mine in my Ninja Foodi using the air fryer option for about 35 min on 390 degrees. If you don’t have an air fryer you can just as easily bake in the oven for about 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees.
- When your baked sweet potato is fully cooked, scoop the inside out and place in a blender or food processor.
- Add the chickpeas to the food processor.
- Next, add the spices.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the olive oil and puree.
- Slowly, add the olive oil into the blender/food processor. Continue to blend until you reach your desired consistency.
- Use a spatula as needed to scrape the homemade hummus from the walls of the food processor.
- Serve with cut-up veggies, chips or crackers of your choice. This recipe yields 4 cups of sweet potato hummus. Enjoy 1/4 cup per serving.
This easy hummus recipe without tahini can be enjoyed as a snack yourself but it also makes a great sweet potato dip for when you have friends or family over. 
Make sure to store your sweet potato and chickpea hummus in the refrigerator covered or in an airtight container. If you have any separation when you take it out of the fridge, just give it a stir and you’re all set. Your hummus should last 4-5 days in the refrigerator, as long as you don’t eat it all at once. 😉
