The best thing about dips and munchies is that you can make them beforehand. Secondly, they are great party food and save a lot of time in the kitchen. Therefore, food processor friendly recipes like Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Lavash keeps the ball rolling.
However, what do you do when you want to eat something super tasty but you got to even watch your diet, eh? I say give my easy, traditional hummus recipe made from sweet potato a shot!
Roasted sweet potato or cooked sweet potato are gluten-free and they pair well with extra virgin olive oil. Also, when you use them with garbanzo beans or chickpea, they fuse up to make a finger-licking and smooth hummus. And that too all under 5 minutes using a food processor out and out if you have these Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes sitting in your refrigerator.
Most importantly, Sweet Potato Hummus Recipe has a beautiful orange colour and subtle natural sweetness. Not to mention its addictive texture. Therefore, you can easily serve it with veggies like broccoli, carrot sticks or munchies. Trust me, your kids are sure to love this healthy snack and request a repeat.
Why should you add sweet potato to otherwise tasty basic hummus?
- Sweet potato adds a great flavour to this classic dip.
- But, by large, it makes hummus more healthy as it is a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B1, B2, copper, manganese and contains a significant amount of dietary fibre as well.
I have added tahini to Sweet Potato Hummus but you can also make Sweet Potato Hummus without Tahini in case you do not like sesame seeds. Also, both roasted, as well as cooked sweet potato, work well for this hummus so suit yourself with your choice.
In a nutshell, I would give 10 on 10 to this veggie hummus as it turned fabulous! How about you? Try it out and tell me?
