Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus – a family favourite hummus dip made with the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potato and chickpeas.
Sweet Potato Hummus
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 the only effort part is roasted the sweet potato, but oh my is it worth it.
Tahini in Hummus
Tahini is a paste made from toasted hulled sesame seeds, it adds flavour and it commonly used in Hummus. To keep the syns low I use a very small amount, but I have also made this hummus without and so if you want to skip it all together because you don’t have any on hand and don’t want to purchase some just to make this recipe, it’s still delicious. But I recommend adding in some plain Greek yoghurt instead. Just so you get the same consistency. This option however is not dairy free.
Toppings on Hummus
When I make this hummus, I like to finish it off with a some chickpeas which I lightly toast in a pan with some spray oil and seasoned with paprika and salt. As well as a drizzle of olive oil and some coarse sea salt. It take the humms to a whole other level and is a great party pleaser served this way.
You can skip the chickpea and olive oil topping if you prefer and just go for some paprika and coarse sea salt, but trust me when I say it’s worth the extra effort.
Dippers for Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus
My favorite way to serve this Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus is with a healthy extra B pitta bread. I slice the pitta bread up into triangles. You can open it up in to two halves first, and then cut into rough triangles (makes much more this way). Then spread out on a baking tray, spray over the top with some spray oil add a pinch of salt and bake until golden at 200c/fan 180c/400f or gas mark 6. Keep an eye on them as they can go from golden to over cooked really quick.
As well as the pitta bread another great healthy option is lots of different vegetable crudites. Some of our favourites are:
- Sugar Snap Peas
- Carrot Sticks or Slices
- Baby Cucumber or Cucumber Slices
- Celery Sticks
- Bell Pepper Sticks
You can also syn/points some crackers/crisps if you prefer. 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!!
How long will homemade hummus last in the fridge?
Homemade hummus should keep in the fridge in a sealable tub for approximately 3-5 days. You can even freeze if you like if you don’t think you will get round to using the entire batch. My kids ab
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 as it’s the kids favourite hummus.

OMG 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!
This is absolutely delicious. I “diluted” with natural fat free yoghurt, which gave a bit of a tang.
Great idea and delicious! Thanks!
Gorgeous just gorgeous.Cannot believe this is good for me – you are a diamond! More recipes please
glad to hear 🙂
I just made this and had to get online as soon as possible to say thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe! I have tried a few SW recipes for hummus but this is by far the best! Delicious 🙂
thanks for posting, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I have made lots of hummus but could never quite get the flavour right. This was amazing and so delicious. I put it in small pots and added chilli to one of them, delish! Thank you
Just made this for the first time and it is delicious!
So so impressed with myself
Could you microwave the sweetpotato and scoop the flesh out?
You could, but the flavour is much better when roasted.
