Creating Sweet Potato Hummus can be enjoyable and straightforward by following these simple steps:

1. Cook the Sweet Potato: Peel the sweet potato, cut it into chunks, and boil in water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
2. Mash the Sweet Potato: Transfer the cooked sweet potato to a mixing bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.
3. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the mashed sweet potato, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until creamy and homogeneous. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water or extra olive oil until you reach the desired consistency.
5. Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices to suit your preferences.
6. Transfer to Serving Dish: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and smooth the top for presentation.
7. Garnish: Drizzle with a touch of olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs if desired for an extra touch.
8. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld, although you can enjoy it immediately.
