This homemade hummus is way better than store bought!
The idea of this sweet potato hummus came from one of my favorite snacks. I like to spread hummus on a piece of crostini bread and top it with a slice of roasted (or slow-cooked) sweet potato. So since I love the taste of this combination, I decided to make my usual homemade hummus, with garbanzo beans, adding steamed sweet potatoes to it. You get the nutty flavor from Tahini and the sweetness from the potatoes…mmm you’ll have to force yourself to stop eating this delicious hummus.

Wondering if you have the calories on this, it is soooo good
Danielle, Not yet but we should have it added soon. 🙂
I love hummus, and this is one of the best recipes I've ever made!! The sweet potato adds a really nice flavor! I'll be making this one frequently!
What can use if I don't want the garlic in it ??
Hi Jeanine, You can just omit the garlic, without any substitute.
Very interesting…but that is a lot of fat calories and carbs for 2 T…I think I'll pass…but Jeanine…what is hummus without garlic…well I am a garlic lover…it is good for you…plus it keeps vampires away
wow…most hummus I would eat are under 100 calories for 2 tbsp.!
What about a substitute forvtahini, I am allergic to sesame…
You can try substituting almond butter. The recipe will not have the same flavor, but will have essentially the same texture. We have also seen recipes that call for ground flax seed and olive oil, but have not tried this ourselves. If you do, please let us know how it turns out.
Still no news on the nutritional information!!!!
I guess you are still “Gathering Data” LOL
