Delicious Low Syn Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus – this is a family favorite
I first tasted sweet potato hummus from the local grocery store here, my kids loved it, I think it was that lovely sweetness from the sweet potatoes. So I just had to a have a go of making some of my own Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus.
This is super easy to make. I add the tahini as it gives that little something extra, but I have also made it without and both taste delicious, so if you want to make this completely syn free feel free to omit.
My favorite way to serve this Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus is with some vegetables (like baby carrots and sugar snap peas), but when I have a Healthy Extra B spare I will spread it on crispy toast or a qualifying pitta bread etc.
It will keep in the fridge in a sealable tub for about 1 week, but mine has never lasted that long, it’s gone pretty quick whenever I make it.
This Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus is gluten free and vegetarian friendly, It can be made dairy free too by omitting the fromage frais/greek yoghurt, you just may need to add a little bit more of the chickpea liquid to compensate.
It would be great served with this Cauliflower Flatbread or Sweet Potato Flatbread for if you fancy a more bread type idea for dipping, both are really yummy!!.
Extra Easy - 1 syn per serving (or omit tahini and this is syn free)

May 8, 2011 at 8:00 amOMG how amazing is this! I’m not a fan of Hummus and have tried making it several times, used this recipe this morning and it’s gorgeous. I’ve even had to have some for breakfast!!
My recommendation is to definitely have it on sweet onion ryvita (even my husband and kids loved it and none of them like ryvita!)
I Highly recommend!
