Ingredients

  • 1 (12-oz.) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-in. pieces (2 1/2 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed (1 1/2 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • Pita chips
  • Crudités

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss together sweet potato pieces and 1 teaspoon of the oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until browned and very tender, about 30 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool at room temperature about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Place cooled sweet potato, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor. With processor running, pour water and 2 tablespoons of the oil through food chute. Process until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping halfway to scrape down sides as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Serve with pita chips and crudités.
