I am OBSESSED with this Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus recipe! <\/h2>\n

Lately, I have developed a tiny obsession with hummus bowls. They come together in no time at all and pack such a nutritional punch! Now, I know that store-bought hummus is not always awful and admittedly eat it a lot too, but making it yourself is a) stupid easy, and b) SO much cheaper.<\/p>\n

Plus you can tweak the recipe to get a perfect consistency and make as much as you want. Let’s face it – those deli counter hummus containers are way too small.<\/p>\n

There are many many hummus versions out there and while Beetroot Hummus looks pretty, I am more a fan of the starchy hummus varieties like my kabocha squash hummus<\/a> which I LOVE. Unfortunately, kabocha squash is not always in season so I had to come up with an alternative. Enter Sweet Potato Hummus.<\/p>\n

I remember watching Trisha Yearwood make sweet potato hummus on TV once and have been wanting to try it for ages. Now that I have tasted it, I have to admit that I am obsessed. I love hummus, but sweet potato hummus, I ADORE! <\/p>\n

What makes this Sweet Potato Hummus recipe the best:<\/h2>\n

Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus is what I make now whenever I crave a big bowl of simple and yummy.<\/p>\n

Think of this as a fairly traditional hummus recipe with the addition of roasted sweet potatoes for extra nutrition and a slightly sweet, toasty flavor.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Roasted sweet potatoes make this healthy chickpea dip even healthier and more nutrient-packed.<\/strong> But it’s really the flavor they add that makes this hummus recipe so phenomenal. <\/p>\n

The slight sweetness from the roasted sweet potatoes marries so well with the nutty flavor of chickpeas and the tahini. <\/p>\n

To take this simple hummus dip from delish to the divine, I also added some Middle Eastern spices<\/strong> to the mix. And toppings<\/strong> because why not. <\/p>\n

Now, we know that great hummus needs garlic but, to be honest, I am not a huge fan of raw garlic. The pungent taste, the smell on my fingers, the looks on public transport – no thanks! <\/p>\n

For this hummus recipe, I decided to tone down the garlic flavor by roasting a whole garlic bulb in the oven<\/strong> along with our sweet potato.<\/p>\n

This easy hummus recipe just requires one more step than a traditional hummus, since you have to roast the sweet potatoes and garlic bulb first. But boy oh boy, this simple step is SO worth it.<\/p>\n

Toppings for this Sweet Potato Hummus:<\/h2>\n

I topped my sweet potato hummus with roasted red bell peppers, fresh basil, and pan-fried halloumi cheese. The perfect combination of sweet, tangy and smoky! But you can use different toppings if you like. Here are some options: <\/p>\n
