This Sweet Potato Hummus with Za’atar & Pomegranate combines the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with the smooth nuttiness of tahini, a touch of garlic, and a zesty za’atar kick. Topped with juicy pomegranate seeds, it’s a feast for both your taste buds and your eyes!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2–3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 2–4 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp za’atar
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse and drain the chickpeas, mince the garlic, and squeeze your lemon juice.
  3. Add the roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, remaining olive oil, and salt to your food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you reach your desired consistency. The hummus should be creamy but not too thick.
  5. Take a small taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed. If you love garlic, you can add another clove and blend again.
  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, sprinkle with za’atar, and scatter the pomegranate seeds on top.

Notes

[‘Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes for even roasting.’, ‘Start with less water and add more as needed for desired consistency.’, ‘Toast cumin before adding to enhance flavor.’, ‘Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.’, ‘Za’atar and pomegranate seeds add texture and flavor—don’t skip them!’]
