Sweet Potato Dip Food

SPICY SWEET POTATO DIP

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking/roasting tray with parchment paper.
• Peel sweet potato and cut into one-inch cubes. Smash/flatten you garlic cloves with a knife.
• Spread garlic and sweet potato spaced on a parchment-lined baking/roasting tray and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 30 minutes or until tender and easily mashed with a fork.
• Allow to cool slightly, then add to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
• Add tahini, salt, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin and the juice from 1/2 a lime. Blend well. For a thinner consistency, add a little water (1 TBSP at a time) and continue blending until smooth and creamy. I like mine extra thick!
• Pour contents into a small serving bowl and surround with your choice of fluffy flatbread, pita chips, and carrot sticks. For a side-dish vibe, use the dip as a flavorful base for your favorite protein and veggies. Enjoy!

HEALTHY SWEET POTATO DIP WITH SPICED PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside the baking sheet.
• Prick each of the sweet potatoes 5 times with a fork and place on the rack, keeping space in between to allow the heat to circulate. Bake the sweet potatoes until a paring knife can easily go through without resistance, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Keep the oven heated to 400 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Dividing evenly, brush both sides of each pita half with the olive oil using a pastry brush, and season the inner side of the pitas with the smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut each seasoned pita into 6 wedges, then arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• Once the sweet potatoes are cool, scoop the flesh (about 1 1/2 cups total) into a food processor and add the yogurt, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper. Process until combined, scraping down the side of the processor bowl to make sure yogurt is fully incorporated. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and gently fold in the chives. Serve at room temperature along with spiced pita chips.
