A low-cal appetizer with an incredible luxurious color!
This appetizer is technically not a hummus since it does not contain chickpeas. For its consistency and its use though, it’s very similar to the famous oriental chickpea sauce – but with fewer calories than the original one ; )
You can spread it on bread or crackers or enjoy it as a dip with veggies, as an appetizer, or as a snack.
It doesn’t matter which quality of sweet potato you’ll choose. If you ask me, the purple ones I used for the picture look incredible. The color is luxurious and matches perfectly with the crackers.
Boil the potatoes in big chunks to spare time. This way they will incorporate a lot of water, which for this recipe is perfectly fine. You might even need to add more water to blend them or to adjust the consistency according to your taste.
