Avocado Hummus & Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- rinsed & dried
- (15 oz) 1/4 cup of runny tahini
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tlb olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- flesh of 1 medium avocado
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- salt/pepper to taste
Preparation
For the sweet potatoes: 2 lbs of sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 3 in long 1/2 in wide fries, 2 tbl neutral oil, salt/pepper to taste
Boil 6 cups of water & combine with 4 cups of room temp water in a large pot . Let potatoes soak in pot on countertop for 1 hr while covered
Dry fries well, mix with oil & seasonings, spread on parchment lined baking sheet in one layer. Bake at 425 F 35-40 min flipping when underside is golden
While fries are baking, Using a food processor, process on high everything except avocado & parsley, till it reaches desired consistency. (I prefer my hummus smooth which takes longer to process about 3-5 min). Next add avocado & parsley, & process again on high. Adjust seasoning to taste
I topped my avo hummus with cilantro, pumpkin seeds, a sprinkling of smoked paprika, & a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with your warm crispy sweet potato fries . Enjoy
