This Sweet Potato Hummus is super easy and healthy! It’s perfect for parties or delicious guilt-free snacking.
Sweet potatoes are boss. They’re the super tuber, y’all. They’re loaded with beta carotene, vitamins (like A, B, and C!) They’re full of healthful minerals and is on EWG’s clean 15 list. All the good stuff.
This might just be the easiest and most delish way to serve up plenty of sweet potatoes. It’s both a crowd pleaser at parties and a satisfying snack at home. Even The Littles devour this healthy dip with crispy pita chips. Way better than random snacking.
The flavors of this hummus meld together into perfection, bite after bite. It’s sweet, savory, smooth, and creamy. Without any cream.
