This Sweet Potato Hummus is incredibly delicious and takes less than 10 minutes to make. If you meal prep and have a bunch of baked sweet potatoes on hand, this is a delicious way to use them up.
Adding sweet potatoes to hummus creates a sweet and tangy flavor when you are looking for something different and healthy to make as well as easy at the same time.
I like adding in sweet potatoes any way that I can. I’ve even used them in my sweet potato brownies (you would never know that they are in there). Sweet potatoes are a nutrient dense root vegetable and a great source of fiber, B vitamin, vitamin C and betacarotene.
Hummus mixed with the sweet potatoes is a healthy nutritional snack that can be used for dipping with veggies or as a filler in a veggie wrap with your favorite vegetables and greens.
Hummus Ingredients:
This hummus is packed with nutrient dense ingredients and spices. Most hummus recipes include olive oil. The aquafaba can be an oil substitute without adding in extra fat but can still be just as creamy.
