Roasted sweet potato adds earthy sweetness to hummus and gives it an even creamier, smoother texture. Use pimentón, or Spanish smoked paprika, for a hint of fire-grilled flavor, or use sweet paprika for a more subtle spice.

Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato (about 12 ounces)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
½ cup cooked or canned chickpeas
1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons water
Pepitas for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Peel sweet potato and chop into large cubes. Toss with oil in a large bowl, then spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until tender and just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, paprika and water to a food processor. Process until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add more water, if desired, to make a looser dip.
Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and pepitas, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
