Sweet Potato Hummus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is super easy to make the only effort part is roasted the sweet potato, but oh my is it worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahini in Hummus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tahini is a paste made from toasted hulled sesame seeds, it adds flavour and it commonly used in Hummus. To keep the calories 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings on Hummus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dippers for Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as the pitta bread another great healthy option is lots of different vegetable crudites. Some of our favourites are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
